What is the name of your state?
Colorado
I am looking for advice regarding several issues with 50/50 custody.
Background:
Custody is split 50/50
CS is paid to one party for 2 boys, $170.00 per month.
Here are the issues or questions.
1) Even though he pays CS he never takes care of incidental shopping needs while he has the children. When they need school supplies or supplies for school projects she has to make sure it is taken care of.
When the boys ask about new clothes, shoes he responds "thats what I pay your mom CS for"
2) She constantly has to cover responsibilites he has to the boys during their stay with him because its his bowling night or he has some other excuse.
Now I understand that she loves them and will not make them suffer because he is selfish but I dont feel like its fair and that he is taking advantage of her.
3) The oldest son recently had a fight with his father.To make a long story short, the father grabbed him forcefully by the neck and arm and "kicked" him out of the house.
Does the father have a responsibility to provide for his sons regardless of CS?
Am I crazy to feel like this is wrong?
What options if any do we have if any?What is the name of your state?
