dh's custody agreement is a few shades of gray and bm said POINT BLANK about taking MY money!?
dh just went about a week ago to get his final custody agreement settled. thank GOD dh's lawyer said bm didnt have to be there since she already signed it, a judge just had to sign off on it and make it official. Because we already knew that lately bm has been acting shiesty and moody and would probably try to claim that she didnt agree to any of it, AND because she agreed to lower dh's CS payments! Which they werent that much anyway, but he was supposed to be getting her more, but he has since moved back here about an hour and a half away.
dh had called trying to talk to sd about 3 times, no answer. finally bm calls back and dh was talking to her about giving her a copy of the paperwork. she starts going off how she wants the original and he should have the copy. THEY SAY THE EXACT SAME THING. and dh was just trying to be nice, because she could go to the courthouse if she wanted to and PAY for an 'official' copy (which I guess would actually be better if she was trying to 'prove' something to someone with the CO) but anyway she started ranting like a lunatic so dh hung up on her. but before that, she was saying how she didnt agree to dh's CS going down, and how she didnt agree about dh getting to claim sd on taxes EOYear (which he doesnt really care about it-and after looking into it, if bm chose to fight it, she would win since she has sd more overnights AND that was something that was in the 'standard' paperwork for joint custody anyway, dh gave her a copy from his lawyer to look over it before she signed it! Granted this was about 6 months ago and she was actually trying to co parent... but STILL)
and she was saying she already got another lawyer to fight him about it! she was saying that THEY SHOULD INCLUDE MY INCOME INTO THE CS CALCULATION. when dh told me about that... oh hell no I was like I dont f&Ck*n think so!! That idiot doesnt know anything about state laws if she thinks the state will include my income for that!!!! I wouldnt of frickin married him if that was possible.
and about his custody agreement, its kinda weird... like the spots for the date have been marked out, because dh's lawyer typed the date for 2010 instead of 2011! so its just marked out in permanent marker. and then for the location of drop offs/pickups, its an hour and half away from where dh and bm lived originally! Makes me wonder how it got in there, because dh doesnt remember it being in there when he signed it. Plus, at the time, they only lived 15 minutes away from each other, so why would the d/o-p/u location be far away from where they lived?? but, the judge signed it even with all the scratch outs so idk...
But if bm tries to get a lawyer and change the agreement, then dh is going to fight to put in that they meet halfway to do the exchanges. They did it before in the temporary order before dh moved to be closer. He's been driving 3 hours RT to get sd because bm relies on her bf to get her to places. She had to rely on her old bf when the temporary order was in place to meet halfway anyway, so why not make her new bf do it too?? OR if she tries to get in increase in CS, then make it to where she meets halfway again because his CS is going up, and its ALOT of gas money PLUS a toll road to get sd, thats why its a good thing his CS amount was dropped so that extra $ can go to picking sd up.
But i dont even know if she can try to file for a modication so soon...? Or even a CS modification so soon. I need to look into those laws here.

Custody issues are such a
Custody issues are such a MESS. We're going through the same thing. All I can say is don't give her a freaking inch because it will only encourage her. I don't know where you live, but we're in NM and FDH's lawyer told him he'd have to wait a year to file for modification. Despite that, BM's already drawn up new papers and started throwing them around. I guess as long as it doesn't go to court, you can modify. ???. *sigh* These women are nuts.
Yeah I know, but dh was there
Yeah I know, but dh was there in the court room with his lawyer and the judge was looking over it and the judge laughed about the mark outs (the mark outs were only the dates . and one other thing now that I think of it; it says in the visitation schedule something about the minor child not reaching school age yet; but when it does happen, that something or other would be looked over. the last time dh had looked at the document was in august 2010; I think thats why there was markout for the year, because dh's stupid lawyer kept dragging his feet on getting it to the judge, so why type up another one for the new year I guess..?
