Custody change?

05/26/11 11:53 AM

We moved to Washington - I'm not working after serving my time in the military. I'm in school. My ex got a job serving. She was working on my days with our child however, she started working on her days of custody as well. For the last month I have been taking our kid Mon - Saturday (mondays for 4-6 hours and tuesdays the same). Sometimes the ex asks me to take her longer on Saturdays and occasionally a Sunday.

To be clear, I LOVE having my child this much and I'm happy watching her any time.

My concerns are 1. I'm not receiving any child support. 2. When I bring up child support (which would only really be like $100) the ex says she is going to just find daycare for our child on her days. She doesn't want to be forthcoming with her income. I've asked for copies of her pay stubbs so we can turn our financials into the court to update the records. I keep a record of the days I am with Sam that are supposed to be "her time" - this issue isn't that I'm doing her a huge favor and it's going unrecognized. The biggest issue I have with it is that she takes Thursday and Friday off to party with her friends when she could be working on those days and spending time with her child on the days she's dropping her off with me.

My thoughts are these:

1. I pursue filing for more custody - if she is just going to put her in daycare when I could be spending time with her, might as well...?
2. I draw the line and have her take care of finding daycare on her days (not my ideal desire for our child)

Thoughts anyone?
