Need help, please
Okay, long story short.
My FH has custody of his two kids ages 14 and 16. The mother works and does receive alimony from my FH. She does not pay for anything at all for them. We do not get child support because at the time of their divorce, she did not have a job and didn't work when they were married. She now works and gets alimony from us. We would like to know what we should do because we can no longer afford to pay for it ALL. She does not contribute anything, the one child is now driving and we have to pay for it all. What should we do? What can we do? Any help would be thankful. I am going crazy with all the money we are spending, school stuff, cars, insurance, school trips. Should we go back to Court? Can we take her back to Court? Also, they have joint custody in the divorce papers but they live with us. What could we say to her to make her help us out with some things? Thanks

If you have custody and she's
If you have custody and she's working now, I say take her back for a modification
Yep. Gonna have to seek
Yep. Gonna have to seek modification. She's not likely to get off that gravy train voluntarily!
The thing is you can now take
The thing is you can now take her back to court! She has a job so that will factor into it. Even if you have joint custody where we live even if someone doesn't have a job they still have to pay $100.00 child support month. Hope this works out for you! Good luck
Get t modified. First, it
Get t modified. First, it needs to be on record that the kids live with dh. After that he courts will make sure she pays cs. When they divorced and had join custody no one paid cs. Things have changed. It's only fair that if custody chnges then so must hhe financials change.
