Hello,
I have a question regaurding my boyfriends case to see if we have to hire a lawyer again.
My boyfriend is the father of a 2 year old, after paternity was determined he began paying $400 in c/s and half of child care as well as taking on the responsibilities of a good father. In June of last year the mother decided she was gonna take the child and move to Oregon, so we hired a lawyer and worked out a visitation scedule so he could see his child. She had a good job and was living on her own before she moved, took a huge paycut and got back on her feet and moved again in Oregon (sec. move) After six months she decided to move back, so my b/f filed a motion after excusing his lawyer, to change custody that she fought but now he has 40% custody. She took a pay cut moving back to CA(third move) and now she is once again unhappy with her roomate and wants to get a place of her own so she wants to raise the support payments to see if she can get more money so she can afford a different place.(fourth move on its way) She thinks that because she is the mother she is entitled to whatever she wants. But i don't see why he should pay for her bad desisions that were not in the best of her child.
Is she entitled to more money now that he has 40% custody? Should we hire another lawyer when we can't really afford it?
