When you go before the Judge, would it make a difference if you stated how

many days a year you actually have him in your home? Would you be able to

prove that & how much money you provide in addition to the support?

No suggestions, but I wish my husband were as good and involved a dad as

your husband seems to be.

I suppose you have an accurate account of hours that you have had him? I

mean, it sounds as if you have had actual physical custody of him more than

she has so why on earth are you paying child support????

If you added up the hours, I am not sure that my husband has spent 8 days

all year with some of his kids. Certainly not Enrique, not sure he has

spent 8 hours with Enrique but that is mostly due to Enrique.

that we arranged to have him all summer and still paid

support. We paid for him to play little league,

tennis, and swimming lessons over the summer. We

bought his school clothes. We have 50% placement and

this year we will have had him 8 days more than she

will have had him. We already pay 75 dollars a month,

provide all transportation, and health and dental

insurance. & nbsp; All this plus our 50%. It is such

BULLSHIT!!!!

Wish us luck and thanks for listening. & nbsp; BTW, if

you have any suggestions......

Yes, we have had him more and I have no idea why we have to pay anything.

They are saying that it is not a yearly thing. That she has him more right

now, so that's what counts. However, I know for a fact that when we

determined the last time that it was so many days per year. This year,

2001, we will have had him at least 8 days more than she did. Before this

summer, we had him on a rotating schedule that was coordinated to dh's work

schedule. Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Then the next

week Wednesday and Thursday. 7 days out of 14. But, we live 45 minutes

away and gas has been so expensive that we wanted to figure out a way to

reduce the trips back and forth. I mean school days we make two round

trips!! That is what we are going to have to go back to now though becuase

of all this crap.

She works like 30 hours a week, so he makes more money. They take her income

and his income and figure the difference and that is what we owe. Because

we have him 50% and she has him 50%.

Tamara,

When my brother and his ex split there was NO child support. He has them as

their primary residence, she gets them 2 nights each week and every other

weekend. They are to alternate holidays and each has them for a month in

the summer.

Does she work at all? Can he counter her request and ask for support?

Also, document everything you have said here about what you have provided

and be sure the attorneys see it.

Good luck!!

Sue

We're going to try. Last time, we filled out all of the forms and wrote a

letter explaining our point and he didn't even read it. He had no idea that

we even had fifty percent placement. What a waste of time. Today was with

a lady from child support and she told dh that it didn't matter that we had

him all summer, just that she has him one day more a week that we do right

now. (BTW, she would not let me come into the room with him either which is

bull. It concerns me just as much as him and he would have kept him temper

more with me there.) He told her to get a court date, cause we were not

going to pay anymore. Problem is...it will probably go before the same

judge as last time. We're going to try to get a change of venue to our

county instead of hers. We'll see. I wish we could afford an attorney, but

that is just not possible. So we're on our own.

My brother made more than his ex, but since custody was joint, the child

support was too.
