My DH handles all the issues with CS. We keep our finances separate and each have our own checking account, but we file joint taxes.
If BM were to take us back to court would my income be figured in to his CS calculation? I know that everything differs by state, but what is the norm there? I just don't know.
Thanks!
We get home from running errands. DH gets out of the car and starts walking SS2 to the door. I get the mail and then start across the driveway toward the house.
Then BM pulls into our driveway at our 30 miles per hour and stops about a foot away from me. She gets out, looks directly at me, and says "you guys forgot SS5" in an obviously pissed off way.
Bang. I suddenly remember that it is early release day (which means it is DH's day to pick SS5 up, not mine). I look at DH and say to him "why didn't they call you?"
BM looks at me and says "They did!"
Not sure if any of you have a subscription to the National Geographic but this month's issue's feature is on Teenage Brains, specifically "The new science of the Teenage Brain" and is actually a damn interesting read.
The studies they base their hypotheses on suggest that teens value the reward more than they fear a consequence. I had a mental image of training my dog - she values the food treat more than my anger any day. Not likening my children to dogs though, this was just the simplest example my brain conjured up.
The exact quote I found intriguing is:
Yeah you know...but it's still frustrating. We dont get any information. BM sits home on the couch and the papers come to her...she can sit there and smoke and read the little fliers and then throw them out never giving them a second thought...and never thinking maybe she could let DH or I know. I have to be diligent and check websites regularly, call and make appointments for DH, and stay on top of it....parenting events get to just happen to her.
My SS15 makes me sick! His mother has custody of him and his younger brothers, SS13 & SS8, and my FH pays a hefty amount of child support.
I am writing this, prompted by some other blogs and my replies to them. This is something that has been dear and interesting to me for many years, both being a linguist and having been raised in different languages.
This will also make me even more identifiable :? oh well.
I was raised in two countries, one being Italy and the other a northern one.
I'll get to my point now.
So we've agreed to have a meeting next week with BM. And DH and BM had a "good" conversation the other night. Then DH and I had a conversation where we got a few things out that we both needed to say about everything. DH is still gone for work and he comes back really late tonight. So after all of that, I felt like I should try to work and be more cooperative about BM things.
Can someone PLEASE tell me how BM is able to contact MY HUSBAND'S insurance and get information??
Both the skids are adults now, and only one is still on the policy.
How, oh how, can BM call and get info????
Grrr.
They have been gone back to their BMs for 4 days now and we don't get them again for a week and a bit... yet they are all I think about in the meantime!!! My entire thought process is taken up with 2 boys that I don't like!! I think about the reasons I don't like them, the things they've done in the past, the things they do that their father doesn't notice when they're here.....
The last thing I wanted when I got home from a long day was to deal with BM 
She finally got the divorce paperwork filed and she decides to text me to tell me to call her so she can discuss it with me :? I look at my BF and was like WTF?? I texted her back and said discuss it with BF not me. So she immediately texts him and says call me to discuss divorce if you girlfriend gives you permission. I was pissed!!!
