My husband and I divorced 6 yrs ago. I have primary physical custody of our daughter, though we share joint custody. I had her in private school for 4 years, he paid none. Becuase of being several states away, my daughter only saw him 2 times a year. He lives here now and she has moved in with him to go to a better school, but mostly to make up for the time she didnt' see him. I am behind her in this. However, he quit paying child support, but not custody papers. I still retain custody. We are better friends now than we have been in years. For my daughters sake, do I let it ride or do I get him for contempt (to try to get some of the several thousand $$ back from private school) since he doesn't pay the support any more. I am in Alabama, if that helps any. I can't afford attorney fees if it isn't going to get anywhere in courts. But I don't want any papers saying he has physical custody, either.

What's your motivation for stirring up a hornet's nest about something that is in the past? Your daughter's interests and well being should be your sole priority now. It's great that your daughter is re-connecting with her father and can go to a better school. It's also good that you have maintained a fairly cordial relationship with her dad. You should be congratulating yourself that everything is going well and that her needs are being met. Leave well enough alone and use your free time to better yourself in some way or return to school, etc. Wallowing in the past will only bring you misery...

If the shoe was on the other foot, would HE be as understanding? I doubt it...
