My husband has had 50/50 split physical and legal custody of his 11 year old son for the last 2 and a half years. He lives with us 2 wks and then his mother 2 wks. Currently, my husband is the only breadwinner in our home and we have 4 children (counting stepson) - the mother and her husband both work, they receive support on a child he has custody of and they only have 3 children (again, counting stepson.) When we won the split custody (coming from the mother having sole custody) the judge told my husband there were no guidelines for that sort of thing and the best he could do was to cut my husband's support due in half since the mother would be caring for him only half the time. That may SOUND okay but as we pay for his care in our home half the year and also carry insurance on him and pay 100% of all school and extracurricular activity fees I don't see how we should be paying her any money. From the "get go" they have more money than we do what with more money incoming and less children to spend it on. We have reached the breaking point with this issue and are considering taking her back to court to see if we can have the support thrown out altogether. Do you think this will be considered? Is there somewhere that we can get one of these "worksheets" that our lawyer has mentioned to us (but tells us he doesn't have access to??) Our lawyer seems befuddled, the judge who made the decision was obviously confused on the matter and, further, has been replaced in the last election. To compound matter the Child Support office seems perfectly willing to help her harass us but will not give us any information about whether this situation can be rectified. I am tired of looking at our 3 other kids and wondering how we are going to pay for their needs when we have to basically care for stepson in TWO homes!! Please help, or point me in the direction where I might find some advice!
