Ex seeking reduction in child support

I live in WA. I am custodial parent of 4 children. The state DSHS office found cause in the filed divorce papers to recover from my ex back child support. That was 12 months ago, he is now taking me back to court for a reduction saying he let me and the kids stay in the house and he paid the bills until the custody dispute was settled. True he paid the mortgage but only a few of the utilities, I paid the gas bill and phone bill, all groceries, all medical/dental and the daycare costs. He is going to court with a deposition from him and his mother saying he paid mortgage/utilities but I know when I moved out of the house June 99 garbage was canceled that week for lack of payment over a 6 month period. Do I need that statement from the garbage collection company to help refute his statements. My attorney and I haven't seen any documentation as to reported costs that he says he covered (just deposition hearsay). I have bills that were in my name that I paid, etc. Do I stand a better chance in court next friday or will he prevail as my attorney seems to feel. For the past 12 months of court ordered child support my ex only has paid 6 months worth. I also am asking for attorney fees/costs to be paid by my ex if I win. I work 2 jobs to help maintain the household for the children and myself. He says he can't pay his bills with the 1200 a month child support he pays me. I told him child support is not a bargaining tool and nowhere does it say we only work a 5 day work week, need more money work overtime or get a second job like I did. Please respond.

My response:

Tsk, tsk. All that writing, and you're on the wrong Board. Copy and paste your post into the Family Law Board.
