Thanks for reading Mixed :-)
There was never a support order put in place way back when because with
BM working min wage it would have been $25/ month.... and it was not worth the stress to drag that amount out of her. (Original order was 65%
DH / 35% BM)
When she moved in Sept 2003 it decreased to 75% DH/ 25% BM, BM was making more than 3 times min wage, but quit her job and refused the employers offer to telecommute from her new home.
Our issue is she is capable of working has an offer to work, but choosing not too. DH tried to talk to her about
child support after she moved, guideline is at least $500/ month based on DH's old salary and BM's old salary. We don't want that, just something and tried to talk to her about that, she just didn't want to talk, so DH turned it over to DCSS to handle.
We suspect that DCSS has given her the preliminary amount and it trying to get her to stipulate to it, that is the only explanation for her sudden interest in DH dropping the CS.
As for her taking the kids more, I hate to say it, but she won't do that, she comes down here to see her parents and doesn't see the kids, she doesn't call them for weeks at a time, and
SD's tell me that she complains about having to drive down here to pick them up when she does have them. I just don't get how a parent can be so incredibly disinterested in their children.
Thanks for listening.
I really appreciate and respect your feedback!!
