What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Order in Ohio, reside in CA.
My divorce and child support order are in Clermont county, Ohio. I have a shared parenting plan and there is a deviation from child support. We are both residential parents. Deviation: My ex husband pays 1/2 of extracurricular and school fees(there is pretty much none at this point), incurs expenses for his visitation(I pay half her plane ticket which basically comes out to the amount of child support I get in a year), and he must provide medical insurance. We hashed out $50 a month when we sat down with our lawyers because it was the only way he would let me take our daughter back to california where both sides of family are at. His girlfriend had a baby on the way and it was all about money to him, and I just wanted to get back to california before I became homeless.
With that being said... my child support worker in CA contacted Ohio in regards of requesting a modification. We sent the packet in and I received a letter this morning stating that the shared parenting plan is tied to the child support decree so the review board will not perform a review and adjust. He has summer, 1 week of winter and spring for his parenting time. He has not fulfilled winter and spring parenting time so I listed that down as to why I wanted a review, as well as my income has increased over 30%. I'm finally at a point where I'm off of state assistance, working full-time, living without roommates, and now provide medical insurance for myself and daughter. I worked hard to get where I am and now I am being told that I can't get a review of child support with CSEA - that I must file with the court. I have limited savings and there is no way I can fly out to Batavia to stand in front of Judge Rodenberg. There must be some workaround since this puts a hardship on me since I have her 43 weeks out of the year, or there must assistance from California for situations like this? I just want child support to reflect the true situation on both sides because $50 a month is not helping when he gets it right back for his summer parenting time.
