Family & Relationships - 7 August 2007

My ex-boyfriend agreed to pay $400 per month in child support five years ago. He paid that every month for three years, then told me that he came upon hard times and asked if I could go with accepting $200 per month until he got more on his feet. For the past two years he's paid the support on time, but he's gotten a better job where he makes $35,000 per year. His wife also brings in about $30,000 per year. We have no court orders for child support. Now he's decided to work and go back to school. Should I get a court order for support so that he won't stop paying it or so he won't reduce it again? Would he be asked to pay more? What's the normal amount a person receives in child support per child?

A friend of mine has separated from her husband who lives nearby. For the past year he takes their 3 children on a sunday for 5-6 hours. Wanting to move on she is going to mediation. In mediation however, he is asking to have the children 3 1/2 days out of the week. Is this reasonable? My friend is concerned that the children will not end up having a stable relation. She does not mind the husband having the children for 3 days - but only days rather than sleeping there as well, as her husband (a taxi driver) is currently living in a flat above a shop where other guys also stay on and off. In addition he is appealing a decision by the CSA of paying 30 per week child maintenance, claiming that out of the £150 per week he makes he only has £11 per week left after expenses. My friend knows he is lying but cannot prove his income. Do you think he will get the children for 3 1/2 days including nights?

Since i was 16 ive been in and out of serious relationships. Only one of those (the last one) was sexual. Now its been 4 months since my last realtionship and I am finally having fun being single. I eventually want to get married and have a family but now I want to experience not being someones other half. I just want to be me. I am dating(not having sex with) 3 guys who all know about each other. I like them all and each have something about their personality that I adore. I told my friend who is a married (shes been married since she was 20) about this and she blew up. She basically called me a slut and said its people like me who gives women a bad rep. Im not leading anyone so what is wrong with datin 3 or 30 guys I'm single.and an adult. I am I wrong?

I have a crush on someone, and I hadn't told anyone yet. Well the other day I made mention that I like this guy and my best friend tells me she had a dream that she introduced us and he and I got married. Coincidence, sign we just know each other really well, or sign that I have a chance? LOL *cheesy question, I know*

I split with my 'wife' down in California back in November of 2006.
She had pretty much said i have to take care of our child (a 4 year old girl) because she couldn't provide for her until she got her life together. (she was out partying and sleeping around). On 12/20/06 I moved back up to Montana where I have family and people who can help with the care of my daughter. I've been here 7 months now and my daughter and i are legal residents of Montana and I am working on a suitable parenting plan. Now my 'ex' got a new boyfriend and is living in his place and decided she wants her kid back. So now she said she can send someone up here and take her away from me because i don't have anything in writing from her that said i can take her kid out of state. It wasn't kidnapping! She abandoned her family and left me with no child care and 1/2 the income we needed to live. thats why i moved out of state so my daughter would have a stable life. Can she get away with this or is it against the law?

Sexual thoughts can be triggered by environmental factors (women wearing immodest clothing, suggestive stories etc.) What do you do to be faithful to your spouse and keep unwanted sexual thoughts out of your mind.

My husbands friends all sit on one side of the scale or the other. Some say a woman has to be a size10 or less to even be considered for dating/marriage and some say the dont care what size she is.

I don't size should matter. What do ya'll think? To me that is chauvanistic behaviour. He needs to be more loving to me.

I have a next door neighbor who is a single mom. I hardly ever see her at the apartments because we are on different schedules. In general I probably see her once or twice a week, usually just in passing. I see her daughter outside playing a little more often. I would hardly describe them as more than acquaintances, but we usually exchange friendly greetings when we see each other.

I manage a drive-in movie theatre and a few weeks ago my neighbor and her daughter came to the drive-in and I saw them at the snack bar. A while later the daughter came back to the snack bar to get some candy. A few minutes later she came back asking to use a phone because she couldn't find her mom. I let her use my cell to call her mom and when she come in she gives a friendly thank you and they go back to the movie.

One of my employees thinks my neighbor was manipulating the situation to see/talk to me, but I don't think so.

I was at the library. Columbus Metropolitan. Reading a book on a shelf. The guy was walking by, and said 'excuse me'.
Then I felt two fingers caress my butt. I did feel it. But did not say anything as I thought it was an accident. He walked away, and I turned an he stopped and turned slightly. Then went away. I felt as if I should have said something, but I didn't really wanna cause anything. What should I have done? Slapped hi? Or was what I did cool?
