My daughter said she wants to stay with me, I would hope that her mom wouldn't want to put this in front of a judge, but I know how she is. She is starting to see what kind of a person her mom is and ther are things that she hates.
based on what you say i dont think you have anything to worry about re the move. Now, the wedding and some psycho ex-wife bullcrap, now thats another kettle of fish. If she tries ANYTHING on the move go straight to the "lawyer smackdown" move. It can be a true de-motivator! Good luck...eek
Update: After me being nice this weekend and trying to keep things civil, she got mad and said I was trying to ruin her and my daughters relationship. So now, after her finding out that all that needs to happen is my daughter telling where she wants live and the judge hearing what a big part of her life I am for the judge to rule.(we called four lawyers friday) I now have my oldest daughter for two weeks straight. She wants my daughter to know that dads house isn't all fun and games.
My decree says the same, but I don't remember what the age is, or if its in my decree, its been a while since I've read it...I have my kids for the summer and its great... MB, I'm maxed out too and I love it...She can't ask for sh*t and she hates it because I travel for pleasure a lot now...It just pisses her off, and that's bonus... Try not to have your daughter choose as with my kids, even thought I have joint custody, they kids spend most of their time with there mother...Ex's (i.e. B*tches) always try to brain wash the children, and that's a fact jack...
I would hate to have my daughter choose, but if she wants to stay in town and my ex wants to move, I will do whatever to make her happy. The bad part is my 9 year old. Maybe the x would let her stay also, that's a big maybe. I bet she won't even move now knowing what we know about the law.
They cap how much they can pull child support from. They max it at $6000 (bring home) a month. For two kids it is 25%, therefore my child support each month is $1500.
Got it. I bet that is a great feeling knowing she can't have any more . I am going to deal with this child choosing business in about two years when my stepson turns 12. He wants to come live with his dad and I. I hope she (the ex) makes it easy. She already knows his intentions. I just hope the fact that she won't get child support anymore doesn't throw a monkeywrench in everything. I'm not sure she realizes this yet. My stepdaughter will stay with her but if he is with us we figure child support will be a wash. At least that is what I gather. Does anyone know?
From what I gather from the lawyers is that she won't give me child support for my daughter but I will only pay for my youngest, so it is a wash.
It is a super awesome wonderful feeling and even better is that it pisses her off. I wonder the same thing because I know my son will want to come live with me. It is too hard to read my daughter just yet but I figure she will follow Collin where ever he goes. I also think about the typical, mom/daughter fighting that naturally goes on. Whatever, I'm just letting the natural course take place. My kids have already begun to see the difference between mom's house and dad's house. It will only be a matter of time.
