What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I have 10 month old twins with my ex (never married). He is court ordered to pay $75/week, $300/month total for them. It was my understanding when we signed the child support agreement, that all other expenses were to be split 50/50. Now with that being said, I provided for them completely on my own for the first 6 months and had them 24/7. Since I've been working, the child support is being paid (not by him but by his grandmother) and he watches them MAYBE one day a week. He does not keep them any additional time and it is a battle just to get him to do the one day a week. I bought the first set of car seats (infant seats) before they were born which were about $130 each. His grandmother bought the second set (the next stage of seats) which were about $70 each. I have the children everyday of the week besides the possible one day a week he watches them while I go to work. They are now telling me that they want the car seats back after I've had them for several months! They are threatening to call the police. Am I obligated to give them back? Even though I paid for the first set? I just do not understand why they would want them when he hardly ever has the babies. They will just collect dust! Please help!
