YAY good news and bad news.....
the good news is that yuck is all for the boys going and we can pick them up early and keep them for the 4th. She will get them back 3 days early in aug which is fine,....
Bad news is that yuck has it in her head that since we can go to disney she can take dh back to court for more CS! I was wondering when that was going to happen. B/c dh really isn't paying as much as he should according the his income. But that is ok I'm ok with it b/c I knew it was going to happen. The only thing is now is dh will tell yuck each and every time she wants him to pay for anything for the boys he will tell her that is what CS is for. Dh was giving ss16 gas money and paid for his letter man jacket and a few other things related to sports. He would also help her out with other things for the boys for things they needed.
however she doesn't work and is on hud and food stamps and in my experience her rent will go up and food stamps will go down and anything else she is on will be altered accordingly. I do know that when I was single whenever I go an increase it was at least almost the increase I got had to go back out. So i broke even.
I am ok with the CS increase b/c as I said we know and have known for a while that he wasn't paying as much as he could have been which is why he would help bm out a lot. AND dh wasn't going to try to get it reduced when each kid graduates he was going to leave it alone but now he will have it reduced each time. Dh told her that.
But NO problems with the disney trip! But what yuck doesn't realize is that I am funding this trip not dh b/c he can't afford it!

great! i'm glad you all were
great! i'm glad you all were able to work that out.
about cs, we did the same thing. we weren't paying enough so when stuff would come up i had no problem helping out. now that cs went up, i'm not nearly as generous.
Yea i know right. i told dh
Yea i know right. i told dh that i am ok with the cs going up but we will have to stop the extras. really sad though.
But yuck said that we could claim the boys on our taxes but she wants to see his income and other stuff. I told him to ask her if she would mind if we could look into how much CS she spends on the boys!?? Since she doesn't work and that is ALL her income I'm betting she spends some on herself..
yuck didn't like that idea so she backed off. lol }:)
My DHs ex was going to get CS
My DHs ex was going to get CS come hell or high water. They both had the kids 50/50 and earnt about the same. but she wanted to be the primary parent. She was the MOTHERRRRRRR and knew so much more about everything. So DH told ehr "Fine, you get $400 a month and the extra $260 it costs me for their medical but you will. not.get. another.cent." And he didn't.
I thought it was a little tough but then DH explained it to me. His $400 CS was post tax. She never had to declare that $400 a month as taxable income. She never cut him a break. Not once.
