Custodial father wishing to modify! Attorney/anyone PLEASE!
Hello
I am the custodial father of two girls ( 6 and 8 ). The kids were 2 and 4 when divorce went through. I currently recieve only 29$ / month as the only support from thier mother. There is nothing in the decree about uncovered medical costs or dental costs. I pay health insurance as well.
Many things have changed since the order was put in place:
1) Ex now has a job.
2) Ex now lives 3.5 hours away one way.
3) Kids are now in school.
4) Ex is remarried and has a new baby
5) I am remarried and we are expecting a baby.
Visitation is every other weekend and every wednessday and thursday during the week with wednessday being an overnight stay.
The midweek visitation has never been excercised and the ex gets credit for it in the CS calculation.
The ex. has been delinquent on child support since the first summer because she doesnt feel she has to pay in the summer even though the order says otherwise.
Ex. has kids on welfare (that has to be fraud doesnt it?) just found that out. I am in Nebraska and she has them on South Dakota Welfare.
She also has claimed both the children on taxes once and she is only supposed to claim the older child and that is if she is current on support! (which she is not)
Many other factors but lets just leave it at that for now!
My Question is: Can I get a modification on CS and get the midweek visitation removed since it isnt used and it affects the support calculation!
What are the risks involved (I dont want to jepardise my custody of two daughters).
I also would like to get something in the order about uncoverd medical costs! Both kids are going to need Orthodontal care! What about that??
Sorry this is so long. There is actually much more but hopefully this will get things started!!
Thanks so much for any advice!!
