Re: 50/50 parenting nightmare

i would try to think of some way he would have to pay his share without you having to be involved in his payment. Figure out how much money needs to be in the kids lunch account at school each month. Let's say for little Jimmy, it's $30 a month. Put your $15 in on the first of each month, LET EX KNOW YOU HAVE ALREADY PUT IN YOUR $15, and he needs to put his $15 in the account. If Dad doesn't put his $15 in, let little Jimmy tell his father he needs more in the account, just like he would if you were not divorced.
Basically, find ways to head him off at the pass, so to speak. Find ways to be pro-active, instead of re-active. Guys like this need you to be smarter than they are, so they cannot have any excuses
And you CAN call the court family division and talk to the mediator. Usually you can find their names and numbers right on line in the Family Division section. They are usually very willing to talk to you about the situation. (That's their job.) And can tell you what steps you can take to stop the nonsense he is putting you through. And, if need be, you CAN represent yourself in family court and state your case. This needless stress he is putting you through, is Bull...., and if it affects you, it affects your children. The court has seen guys like this before and they know how to handle them.
