Temp custody paperwork was signed before BM moved out of state and SS came to live with us with holidays and vacations with his mom. When the final paperwork came to be signed she threw a fit and wouldn't sign it. Wanted him to come down every month (isn't possible).
She was told that if she didn't agree with the custody arrangement that she needed to repsond in writing. She sent our lawyer a fax of the custody paperwork with written changes that she wanted and we didn't agree with them.
what works for custody schedules? I have a ss and sd that do a 2-2-5. We always have them Monday and Tuesday, BM always has them Wedensday and Thursdays and we switch every weekend. The kids are 12 and 14. Lately I have noticed that it is very stressful for them to pick up all their stuff and move houses mid week. I tried to suggest every other week with the switch day being Friday of Sunday. The BM won't have it. (I think more because I want it) not that it won't work. The only problem I am having is getting the holidays to switch parents every other year.
So Mic finally got to the bottom of why he hasn't gotten a court date yet (after almost 4 months). They lost his paperwork. There's nothing. They want him to come fill it out again, wait another 3 months, just so they can she can do anything she wants. In the meantime, they're only open until 4:30, so he would have to leave work early just to fill out the paperwork. And I'm sure they'd just lose it again. He went ot court in January, and she didn't show. It was supposed to be rescheduled. I don't know what to do. I just came right out and said it. I told him to give up.
Ok, I've been married for close to 2 years. We went through a lot of church counseling prior to the marriage but of course nothing can prepare you for a "blended step-family"... The biomom went psycho, in & out of court... I have 1 daughter (13) and two Stepdaughters (10&5) that live with us.
SS got his paycheck today, now..., knowing that he has to scrimp and save his money to get prepared for school, knowing that he needs to put some money into the crappy car that his dad gave him before he will have transportation to get to school, knowing that he has bills that need to be paid, taxes, 4-wheeler, car insurance etc... what does he do?
Spends $140 on X-box games before he even gets home

Never a dull moment with Ms. P. Mic called to make sure ss would be at drop off this afternoon. Now, this arrangement has only been in place for a whole year, so I guess I can see why she would still be so confused about it. Of course, she forgot today was visitation. And, true to form, it couldn't just be that she forgot and that she will correct it. No, this gal can't do anything without an argument, name calling, and her favorite-hanging up. She tried to say that she and ss were already out.
ok so normally I blog about the soon to be ex of my BF, but today I need help with my soon to be ex. I spoke to the people that he lives with today (he lives with his two friends that are married, her mother and grandma, 4 people total who are all related). Anyway, me ex started taking our daughter to his mom's house when she was with him. Right now we have a separation agreement that states we have 50/50 custody, however he only takes her for 5 days max about every 2 weeks. Even thought the separation agreement states 2 weeks on 2 weeks off.
Well..bf grew a set and finally told his ex how he is tired of her games, manipulations and the all around bs. He finally stood up to her and you know..I'm proud of him. Even if he and I were not a couple..I would still say the same thing.."Set your boundries and stand firm!" Anyway..I have disengaged completely from all of them..somewhat from the bf too, as I was recently diagnosed with a disease that requires surgery and my health is pretty flakey.
I was doing some research last night on child support in my state. It is calculated using a standard number as the amount needed to support a child, and then split among the parents according to their income. For example, if it costs $1000/month to support one child and BM makes $25k and BF makes $75k, then BF's CS payment would be $750/month, as he makes 75% of the combined total income. (FYI, these are just hypothetical numbers to show how it's calculated in my state.)
