I know that I may be opening a huge pandora's box... but I was hoping to see/hear what you think.
My ss has been living with us for almost 5 yrs; my husband has sole physical custody. Biomom has visitation, but that is sporadic at best. My husband has never asked for a penny... it was never about the money, it was about his son's safety.
He filed for child support recently and was granted about $350/month. Clearly this does not cover all the necessities, but that's not the point. The information was presented to the hearing officer and based on financials, she came up with the final amount. She informed the biomom that she has 30 days to appeal, but the judge will be seeing and using the same numbers... so in essensce was telling her that a judge would most likely keep the number the same.
She has filed for an appeal! I think it's an attempt to have us 'pay' to bring our attorney with us... also out of spite. Why?
I guess I don't really have a question, other then wanting to vent a little and hope that someone can see the other side of things... not all the father's out there are bad and sometimes, it's the mother who needs to do some growing up...
~Thank you.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
She has begun playing mind games with my SS; saying things like... if you lived here I would buy that car you've been looking at... but not ONCE in the past 4+ yrs. that he has been living with us, has she tried or even mentioned wanting him to come back and live with her! It infuriates me because he's getting trapped in the middle of her emotional crap that she plays with him!!!
UGH!!! Sorry for the venting!
maybe i am a bit extreme but i have and ex ordered to pay 134$/month and after 4 contempt hearings and his second warrant refuses to pay or have anything to do with our daughter yet freaks at the mention of giving up rights.
i do not think you have anything to worry about. if anything she will look like a total ass to the judge. 350$ is not much considering she is sporadic, but if that remains the order be prepared for her not to pay and if she does not want to pay she will find a way.
