Did anyone catch yesterday's show?

*disclaimer* seen through the eyes of a completely cynical and used stepmom

So it was tragic that "Chris" the husband died of an overdose, but viewing it as a Post Traumatic Step Disorder survivor, some stuff jumped out at me:

1. Toni the young wife, didn't seem all that broken up about Chris' death (thank GOD she never had children with Chris)

2. Toni blurted out that Chris HATED Stepmom TO Sandy the Stepmom

Hello everyone from Golden Uterus Land otherwise known as New York State. So the paperwork for the downward mod went in on 10/22. No receipt given in Podunk NY; not like the county I live in next to it or any other county that I've ever lived in.

I called them today since I haven't heard a thing since--I pretended to be a BM asking for an upward mod so that I could get the kid glove treatment.

NYS Downward Mod--Even the OLD Form is OBSESSED with Health Insurance . .(General Rant)

Backstory: The BM and skids used to be on Chef's health insurance. At time of the split, he had a job with a major, global company so health insurance was relatively low cost. When they divorced, the BM still tried to sneak onto his health insurance a year later.

Heard about this on the Kim Komando show. Yeah there's a monthly monitoring fee, but this app seems to do it all without the "target" being able to turn it off or go around it.

Might be worth it for those who want to keep track of their skids "activities."

Well It Passed the Clerk's Sniff Test in Podunk, NY

Turned in all the paperwork for the downward mod. The old financial affidavit seemed to pass the clerk's sniff test. She went down the list checking for completeness.

She did question the health insurance part. I let her know that health insurance is being carried by the Behemoth BM due to the fact she works for NYS Child Protective and the skids are on her cadillac benefits (in so many words).

So today I reminded Chef that he said several years back:

"I'm sooooo glad that the BM doesn't keep dragging me back to court like all those OTHER fathers!"

My response at the time was: "She couldn't take you back to court; you are already paying WAAAY over the max voluntarily"

Well Chef said "I never said that--you are imagining things again!"

Here it Is Folks, New York State "MAY" Impute Income on the NCP (NO Mention of Imputing on the CP)

Page Four:

"Sometimes the court may impute to the
non-custodial parent income that other household members earn. Impute means to assign or to attribute. When someone’s income is imputed to you, it increases your total income in the eyes of the court. It may increase the amount of child support you are ordered to pay."

EUREKA!!! I Found A BLANK Financial Affidavit Form From the BM's County From Pre 2010. ..

That DOESN'T include "other members of household" and "other member's income" for the purpose of IMPUTING the NCP's income and NOT the CP's income!!!

I made SEVERAL copies of that form (which is NOT dated on the bottom)

If I can recall, the BM's attorney used ANCIENT self support reserve figures in the original divorce decree as far as what it takes incomewise for Chef to survive. . .
