So he goes for a review...they raise his CS...and he receives a packet in the mail today from HER new attorney...sueing him for more money...and before we received the mail this morning...he called out to ask her if she could meet us half way this morning (we drive to get them every weekend and take them home every weekend) She throws a huge fit and says absolutely not? This is the first time in years we have asked her to do this. What an ignorant you know what...So...after getting the packet in the mail...he is going to a lawyer this week and we are praying he will take payments. If not...he's F'd. And the youngest also gave us the bill this morning for her new glasses...$70.00. He is going to put $10.00 a month on this...because that's what he can afford with HIS own bills. It's what he has left. It's the best he can do.

We are making a new plan...my brother told me if we get the kids 183 days out of the year...your child support is cut in half. Well...right now - we have them every weekend and a week out of the summer so that's what...55 days a year...SO - we know we can't get 183 in there...but we are working on the apartment...it should be ready within months...we're thinking we can do EVERY weekend like we do now...only get them Saturday AND Sunday night (take them to school Monday morning) and then get them one week out of every month during the summer...that's like 117 days...So close...but no cigar...this should do something though. We are hoping. I think I can change my work schedule up to keep them while he is at work...If not - we can get the FMIL to watch them (which I dread but she does not work...). How does this plan sound?

Of course she does...how else is she going to raise/support (yeah right that's a joke...) a third child and still be able to go to the salon?

I am already worked up...God only knows what else is in there. It would probably make me puke. I have really bad anxiety issues...that come with panic attacks and blackouts...So he is protective...he doesn't want me to get upset. he is going to the attorney this week.

OMG - I never even thought of that - IF she is soooo poor - how is she going to afford an attorney? Great...

how far away do you guys live from bm, if not too far, then you could request friday at 6pm until monday morning after they go to school. if its feasible, you guys might request half of Xmas break, like for example; on odd years yall would get from when xmas break began, to dec 26th (or like 3pm xmas day) then bm would get the last half, then even years, bm would get xmas break began to xmas day/dec 26th and yall would get from that day then to when it ended. Also, any extra breaks when there is school; fall break and thanksgiving break (or switch this so every other year you guys would get the skids) also, half of spring break. You could also request 6 weeks of the summer.

No way she's going to give you more days than in the co. She and her attorney will also know the formula. We had steps one day less than we had to have for a reduction in cs. They're sneaky.

If cs was just adjusted it can't be adjusted again for two more years. What's she suing him for?

There is NO custody order. That could be part of the problem. He used to work Sunday through Thursday - and get the kids Thursday morning and take them home Friday evening - then pick them up again Saturday morning and keep them until he went to work on Sunday...then like after 3 years of that - his boss told him he couldn't do that anymore and he had to go back Sunday through Thursday...so that is why we have them Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon now every weekend. That of course does not matter now because that was years ago. I don't want to sound "selfish" but Friday night is our night...I think I deserve that - we don't see eachother much during the week because I work two jobs (one is an intern job to graduate college) and he works nights...

She is going back and sueing him for half of all medical bills since I guess they split up? He wouldn't let me look at the papers...that's all he said...this is putting TONS of stress on us now...and he didn't want me to get more worked up than I already was...
