What is the name of your state? Florida
Hello everyone! I am new to this forum but y'all seem to have a very helpful community here.
I did a search on some of these issues, but haven't found what I need to answer them.
First, I was divorced in the State of NH but now reside in Florida and my ex in Rhode Island. I have full custoday of my two children ages 8 & 10. When we initially got divorced I didn't want to effect my exes quality of life so I only asked for 2/3 of the child support the kids were entitled to.
Since, my ex has received 3-4 large promotions. He has also proven though we care about his quality of life, he doesn't so much care about his childrens'.
I would like to take him back to court and have my child support amount modified upwards. As understandable my children are older and they cost more, not to mention I would like to place them in an educational service (Sylvan) and he will never assist in paying extra for anything. Please advise on how I can accomplish this or if I even stand a chance at getting this approved.
Secondly, is the issue of his bounced child support checks. We are working on the fourth bounced check of his. He replaces the missed money with a money order, but I am tired of having to pay fees and all the other red tape (bad credit etc.) that comes with his irresponsibility. I want to have his wages attached electronically. I have pleaded with him to do this and he refuses. What recourse do I have, if any?
Third and lastly, for two years a battle has waged about the use of the word "Daddy" in reference to my children's step father. My ex husband from their birth has only been referred to as "Poppa" yet when the step father came on the scene and my children elected of their own choosing to begin calling the step father "Daddy" my ex husband lost his ever lovin' mind and has started a harrassment campaign to make them stop. It has effected them quite a bit and I believe it to be bordering on emotional abuse. Does the ex have any legal leg to stand on if he took me to court over this, even though "Daddy" was never his name, can the court order us to cease calling the step father "Daddy"?
Again, thank you all for any help you can give me.
