Now that I've written it, it's just kind of a ramble, so you don't have to read it. I just want to post it, it's therapeutic.

I filed a contempt about a month ago, he stopped paying his CS in June and has never, not once, paid for any of BS's out of pocket medical fees. I had our point of contact (there's a PO) send certified letters with a printout and breakdown of the months fee's, his half printed at the bottom. I never asked for his half of anything routine, I don't consider his Pedi or the one or two ER visits to be something worth bitching about. But BS has a chronic digestive abnormality that costs a fortune. He HAS to see a Doctor in the city, he HAS to eat certain foods(not that I ask for half but it's worth mentioning here), he HAS to have a pile of supplements and medications daily, thankfully though in my state formula is covered by insurance in this case.

So after the first few months I gave up, I stopped paying for the postage and wasting my time working it all out and just considered it a wash. My Ex left us alone and paid his CS, I was fine. I have full legal and physical custody because he can't handle his temper. I obtained it the right way, I never with held visitation because DCF told me not to, they fought the fight for me. I didn't even call them, his live in GF did.

Since he paid his CS on time and it was enough to keep FDH and I from drowning in medical debt I never fought about it. The less I see the man the better. But I figured as I was filing contempt for the CS I might as well file for the out of pocket medical. I just added up what I still have proof for (so just the last 19 months) and it's right around $600, but some of the more expensive stuff (like supplements) I only have proof the doctor ordered it, and the receipts from when I was still sending letters, so, I'm probably going to be eating a lot of the cost and that kind of sucks. The supplements add up to over a thousand dollars, it's not money I missed while paying for it, but looking at the numbers just... wow.
