Settlement offer

Jsmom's picture

Well we received the offer of settlement on the CO modification from the BM from hell. She wants $586 a month CS. Us to cover the health insurance. She wants DH to lift the restriction on exposure to her SD18. We keep 50/50 of SS12 and she has full custody of SD14. Unbelievable. Our lawyer says she is only entitled to $96.00 not $586. Her lawyer seems to have pulled this number out of thin air.

Update on CS

Well DH met with the lawyers yesterday and it turns out the BM should have been paying him CS the last 5 years almost 500 a month. He can't collect anything now. But, now that she has SD14 full time he owes according the the calculations about $96.00 a month. She doesn't realize that yet, since her lawyers and ours are playing chicken with each other. But, that is really far off of the $1500 she told DH she was entitled to. But, she only wanted $500 a month. Yeah right.

BM - Where to start?

This morning DH gets an email. Says that either she or SD will pick up SS11 at 8:30 AM. DH replied that: "Please send this type of e-mail by Saturday. I don't check my e-mail at 11 at night and if I need to get SS up by a certain time, I'll need to get him to bed earlier and let Jsmom know what the plan is. I get really busy at work at this time and for me to communicate this, I would have to wake everybody up by 7.

She obviously doesn't get the email and is at our door at 8:45. I answered the door and stepped outside.

Progress with SS

Wow! SS11 just called the house. This is our morning switch off for the week. After all my discussions and his dad's, he actually called before coming over. I asked if he wanted me to come get him and he said yes. They live two subdivisions over and I have always had issues with him walking and not telling anyone. Something clicked.

BM is absolutely the worst

We were supposed to pick up my SS11 and drive him to camp on Sunday with my son and their best friends. 15 minutes before we were supposed to pick him up, he come walking in the yard. His idiot BM let him walk home again without letting anyone know. I swear this is becoming a huge pet peeve for me. Anything can happen to him. I know we live in a town similar to stepford, but someone could hit him or take him, anything. She is the worst.

Things are so much better....with her gone.

It is absolutely amazing how much better things are in our house. The drama left the building when DH removed her from the house. We are still waiting for the BM from Hell to sign the modification papers. She now states she wants CS. Ironic since she makes more money than DH. But, she feels that she is so traumitized by the way he dropped her off that she will need extensive therapy. Unbelievable. DH has now accepted that he will be paying something, since she won't sign the papers, but now it will depend on what the mediator recommends.

So frustrated...

So much has happened with BM and SD14. We are giving up custody of her, but BM has to sign a document forgoing any support and making provisions for SS11. We are asking that if he wants to live with either parent such as SD14 has done, the other parent can't fight it. It may backfire on us, but we think that in a years time he would rather be with his dad and not his sister and SS15 and their daily drama. She refuses to sign it. Despite telling DH that she doesn't want CS. She now does at the advice of her lawyer. She makes about 40K a year more than DH. Now the drama.

Do all BM's eventually lose it on the EX??? Update!

Well the saga continues. After DH had taken SD14 to her mom's on Wednesday night, it went from Bad to Worse. SD ran into him at a restaurant and handled herself poorly. We are pretty sure BM doesn't know about this. We received a fax from the the Mom's attorney. Completely misstating the way DH handled the drop off. Lawyer stated the DH told her he was done being her father and to have a nice life. And threatened to take her dog to the pound. He told her he could not parent her this way. She kept breaking rules and then telling him that there was nothing he could do about.
