My husband just received a summons for cs reimbursement of child care fees as per their divorce stipulation. The thing is, my husband and I have been providing the necessary child care for the children four out of five days of the week. His ex however refused to provide any written documentation attesting to his provision of child care services, so instead we tried our best to document the time we had them, expecting this to happen. My questions are-1) Being that we provide childcare for the children 4/5 days of the week and the stipulation stated pro rata child care fees, would he incur the cost of providing childcare for the one day he doesn't? It doesn't seem fair that he should when in addition to paying child support, we have the children after school until almost bedtime on those days 2)We documented the time we had the children by writing a journal, signing and dating all their HW (we have copies) and keeping all the HW that was on loose leaf papers. Is this enough to convince a judge of the time we've had the children? His ex went back out to work the 3rd week of January and we've had the children from the beginning of the fourth week, and have HW, journal entries and loose leaves from said time. We assume that his ex will lie in court and say that he didn't provide any care at all, so we are really hoping that this is enough. Any advice and assistance is greatly appreciated.
