I consulted my attorney for modification of child support and to change visitation days of 15 a month to standard visitation.
I have had full custody of my child for 7 years. I only requested a modification because He was only paying 46.80 a month and never would help with any additional expenses. Example, I ask him to pay half (10.00) a month for a rental of a musical instrument. He said no, he did not have the money. After a computation was made his new amount of child support was 495.00. Furious, he then manipulated our daughter, made promises to her, made her lie to me, encouraged her to run away. All to get custody of her. Because he did not want to pay the above amount of child support. Ironically, I cannot prove any illegal activity from him. I agreed to her changing residence with her. Only because I knew I had no control over the situation. I have 4 other children and her actions have disrupted the entire family. Her father has convinced her that I have commented physical and mental abuse, now changed to verbal and mental abuse. This has commented slander on to me and my family.
This has been an emotional distress. I have not only lost my daughter physically but emotionally. I have only seen her 5 hours after a month. The legal issues have become overwhelming, I am confused with such matters. He has stated he wants no child support. My attorney recommends that I pay 149.02. I do not work. I feel I should not have to pay anything, due to I have had the financially burden for years, or should I say my current husband. If my ex husband agrees to deny child suppport, shouldn't I not pay? If I should pay, I feel it should be the same amount I received from him. (46.80). I also am requesting joint legal custody and giving him full physical custody. Is this possible? Also, I have been told by my attorney that I can only get standard visitation. I am just wanting a bit more. Actually I just want it to be stated alternating holidays and school holidays and 6 weeks in the summer.
I am frustrated in understanding my legal rights verses what is right and wrong. The simple fact is that I have had my daughter taken away from me and I am wanting to have as many parental rights as possible. I feel in my heart I should fight the custody in the first place, however, I have been adviced that my daughter will get what she request. So confused, needing advice and any suggestions. Thank you for your time.
