What is the name of your state? Az
Ok, I pay 905 a month in child support. I was given permission by the judge to use an airport roughly a 2 hour drive away from mom because the airport near her only offered one non-stop flight a day and it always arrived later at night when I am at work. I also was given permission because it costs more to use that airport near mom. Mom is now demanding that I use the airport near her. If I agree to this can I request a deduction in my child support due to the extra cost of transportation? I have been looking at the child support paperwork and I don't see where I could get the deduction. I will be in court in the middle of May and hope to get this heard then. I don't really have a problem with using the one there as long as I receive the credit and my wife can pick the kids up from the airport.
Mom is saying that she doesn't have a problem with my wife picking up the kids but doesn't want me to have the credit. On the other hand, I can see my ex making it difficult on my wife p9icking them up (i.e. give the airport my info instead of hers and claim that she forgot)
I am only allowed to purchase the tickets no sooner than 30 days out so the difference in costs of the airports is roughly 2k a year. Not a lot to some but after child support I only make 150 a week. It would take me months to come up with 2k and pay my bills at the same time.
