Re: All his money Erin: I totally appreciate your frustration BonillaK.
Please talk with your lawyer about it and I am sure that you will end up with something that is manageable for you.
I think ISO was right, in that if you go in there demanding everything etc. it will make you look unreasonable. I'm sure your lawyer knows enough to be able to suggest what is appropriate to ask for and realistic to expect.
Good luck!
Re: All his money BONILLAK: My lawyer is telling me that I have to go for CS and 50% of daycare costs so I can work and make some money, the problem is just CS and daycare will cost him all of what he is claiming he makes. I do have proof that over the past 11 yrs he has worked 2-3 jobs total at a time to pay the bills here as I'm sure a judge will question how we paid $3100 a month in bills on just $1700 a month. As for lawyer cost his is free through his job and mine my grandparents have paid for plus we got a big discount as my stepfather is a retired lawyer and very good friends with the guy I'm using. My lawyer is fed up with husband and his lawyer. He told me that his lawyer has only 4yrs experience practicing and is lying to my husband but I guess my husband will find that out. I just want our 4 way sit down and see how it goes. I do have a long paper trail of prrof that he was bringing into this house more than double the income he is claiming he earns...the proof is up to Sept. 16 2005. I'm just annoyed that he is trying to say he makes one amount when truthfully he does on the books but makes double that off the books or at least did until Sept. of this year. He was yelling at me today telling me how he can be in trouble with the IRS etc because I'm running my mouth but I'm sorry, should the kids starve or be homeless because he decided to quit playing house with me? I don't think so.

It has nothing to do with taking every penny, it has to do with being able to survive. [/quote">
What if he earns $1000/month and you calculate that he owes you $2000/month? Do you expect that somehow you are going to get $2000/mo because that's what you need to survive?
If my exwife got ALL of my money, I would stop working.

Re: All his money Discarded: I know in this state there is a formula and that you can't take everything that the X earns. I get a whole whopping $25.00 per child from my X for Child Support. It doesn't even pay for their school lunches, and I typically loose more than $25.00 a month to the children's clothes that she keeps and sends them back to me in some crap I have to throw away, because I won't let them wear it.

Re: All his money twobeautifulkids: simply put if it's not there, you won't be able to get it. you can't expect to get $3K out of him, despite that being your bottom line, because he doesn't make it. if he doesn't make it, you can't have it. plus, he needs money to survive as well. whiskeygirl is also right in pointing out that wanting their father to live with nothing is just not a good idea. also, if you are paying $1100 for your apartment where is the other 2K going to? maybe we can help you budget even more than you realize is possible.
