What is the name of your state? Illinois
My husband and his ex wife have joint custody,legally the kids are supposed to be with her with my husband getting them everyother weekend but they had verbally agreed on she having them 7 days and then he has them 7 days with him paying her child support. Now the kids have been with us full time since Sept.2005 because his exwife moved to another town with her boyfriend and the kids wanted to stay here where they had their school and friends. We(my husband and I) feel that he shouldn't be paying any child support being as we have them full time and she only sees them about once every two weeks(her choice) Should he be paying her and if she does move back to our town should he be paying her if hey go back to 7/7?He did have the custody modified approx 6mos.agobefore she moved to another town and left the kids in our custody only because she was willing to sign the papers to have it legal as for as costody goes but she wasn't willing to drop the child support. She says that she can't survive on her own uf we don't pay her the child support. She uses the kids as a tool to get him to do what ever she wants saying that if he tries to take her back to court she will fight for full custody and she will then take them to another town. He does not want take joint custody away from her he just wants the monetary issue straightened out.We have been paying for everythung for the children as far as medical,school,personal items,etc... She says that even though we are paying for it all she still deserves her child support because she is their mother.She even filed them on her taxes this year so that she could use them as a deduction. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
