My divorce was finalized in February. I didn't ask for child support because of guilt in addition to the fact that he gets the kids for 4 hours on Tues and Thurs and then every other weekend so it SEEMED like the time was split equally. It's not and anyone who has kids knows that the more time they're with you, the more money you spend.
My ex splits doc copays, prescriptions and any extra-curricular activities the kids might be involved in, but even at that I have to ask him repeatedly to pay up.
As a result, I just want to go to court, ask for a flat amount of child support per month and be done with it. There are two problems with this: Foremost, even though the kids live with me and we have joint conservertership, in Texas you have to name a primary guardian. My ex is the primary guardian. Secondly, I've heard that in Texas you have to wait 3 years to go back to court to change the custodial agreement, etc. Is there any truth to this!
Help!
