What is the name of your state? CA
My husband pays child support to his ex-wife for thier two children. She does not work and this is soley what she lives off of. We have the children 50% of the time. She is not contributing anything with regards to the kids. All things that she does buy is with the money provided by my husband. She does not work and doesn't seem to want to at all.
Is there anything we can do to change the custody arrangement as their father is the one paying for everything as she is not contributing anything.
I guess my concern is if things were the other way around and my husband wasn't working and wasn't even attempting to get work, but needed to provide for the kids he would have to get some form of employment, even if it wasn't in the original field he was in. Why is it o.k. for the mother's not to contribute anything to the raising of their children and just sit around and wait for the check at the beginning of every month.
Thanks,
