So, DH is livid right now and I honestly don't know what to do. I am speechless.

So, during mediation it was decided that taxes would go to each parent every other year. Due to DH living in the house (his house that he bought had her name no where on it) for a few months the year of divorce, and other tax issues that got drug out this year would be the first year DH could claim SS.

Well, he called to tell SS good night and heard something about taxes and reassured to BM that he would be claiming SS. According to him she chuckled and said "No your not look at the very last decree we took it out last minute."

Mind you BM drug out signing the decree the first 8 months we were together (we might right before the final court hearing - they went back in court for 9 months, 2 months after the split it started - so no home wrecking) so she could have insurance to try to claim SSI.

DH pulled up the second to last decree and compared them word for word...she legit got her lawyer to take out that one paragraph and no one noticed and DH is pisses. I feel like his lawyer should have noticed as he was supposed to read through each copy because she had tried to make changes in the one prior saying DH couldn't have SS a week straight mind you custody is set for 6 days at a time. I know DH was worn down by this time trying to find her changing minor stuff like that (he caught the week thing before his lawyer said he had time to read it). There is 2 pages concerning taxes still because of past issues so I am sure he was tired and didn't think she would mess with that.

We were counting on having the money for expenses that have come up that we didn't expect.

Any advice?

Anyone we live in Texas - I am pissed and DH is pissed and giving me the cold shoulder he is so mad. He is offshore and we have talked a total of 10min in the past 48 hours including the conversation about this.
