Thank you Ohiogal for your friendly answer.
I guess your opinion is not the same as CJane.
What is your suggestion that the father does?
In your earlier post you tought the custody issue could be handled seperatly from the arrears issue.
I would be extremly interested in your opinion.
Have your husband post for himself.

Thank you all for taking the time to give advice in this matter.


Now just so I understand you all correctly?

You all do agree that is better for the father to let the mother keep primary custody of the child and continue paying her full child support altough the child is residing full time with the father and is being fully supported by the father without any economical contribution from the mother.
And this is so because the father owes the mother backsupport that is under dispute at the moment?
This is so because a court order is in place that says it's so.

The back support is being addressed in the current order.

The dispute is upcoming and the court with jurisdiction will handle that since Mom and Dad can't. By current guidelines, even, whose facts and figures appear to be in Dad's favor, not Mom's unless she can prove her side regarding the amount.

Until that happens, Dad is going to have to suck it up and get over it that he is paying the full CS. He may even find that what he paid during this time will yet again be in his favor and counted towards the arrearage.

Suck it up, buttercup. Patience is important, even if Mom is refusing to sign anything at the moment.

Dad's next step is what his lawyer advises and not getting so caught up in what he's paying now that he misses the big picture.
