Me and my ex husband have been divorce since june 09. We got joint custody. I was never at the divorce hearing because i was never notify of the court date so what he put down he got. My ex has a new child before we was divorce. Even though we live in different states and he is in the army a phone isn’t that hard to do.He never calls to check up on my son he calls like once a month he gives me child support because he has he said he wouldn’t give it to me but since he has to he does. Now I want to take him back to court because I was sole custody of my 2 year old son. My son has been in my custody since day 1. My ex never sent him a birthday card no christmas gifts his mom gets my son gifts and puts my exs name on it. He makes it seem like he is father of the year. everyone knows he has a daughter but they dont know he has a son. So I want to go back to court to get full custody more child support and to make him pay for daycare since I cant get a job in the daytime since both my parents work and dont get home til like 5 or 6. He refuses to pay for daycare or even help me. I start school next month and have to go at night because I have no one to watch my son in days and that’s why its impossible for me to get a job because no one wants to hire me because of my hours of 6-close most jobs night hours are 5-11.

Im not trying to be some bitter women but you just have to put yourself in my shoes. I just think my son deserves better and I dont want to share my son with someone who doesn’t care about him just because he didn’t want a boy but now has a daughter doesn’t mean anything. Any advice how I can get this court case started??? By the way Im 21 I live in VA and my ex i dont know where he stays he lies about his locations with me

My ex has only ben paying 0 a month in child support for the last 9 1/2 yrs. In my state, I could have requested a review of his child support every 3 yrs, which would have been in 2001, again in 2004 and now in 2007. I just now requested one and based on my ex’s current bring home income of roughly ,000, and my son being his only child, his child support was set at a little over 0.00 a month. He was furious and called me every name in the book, including money hungry. I also had someone tell me that we should both be paying for 50% of my sons care, and unless his monthly care was 00, then 0 was too much. Here is how I looked at it: Based on his current income, I "guessed" at what he would have been bringing home in 2001 and 2004 and what his child support might have been set each time, minus the 0 he was paying. If my "guesstimate" was close to accurate, he actually got out of paying me close to ,000 over the last 6 1/2 yrs because I didn’t ask for a review.
When my son was not yet in school, I payed between 0 and for daycare. Even if you average that out at lets say , that would have been a little more than 0 a month that I payed in daycare. My ex’s 0.00 a month didn’t even cover 50% of that, much less leave any left over for food, clothes, etc. I had to have a job to provide my 50%, but I actually ended up providing more than my 50%. However my ex doesn’t look at it that way. He thinks that I take his child support and spend it on myself or on my youngest child. I did tell my son that we would take alot of this child support, if I actually end up getting it, and put it in a savings account for him to use to buy a truck when he turns 16. I don’t see how that makes me money hungry.
My son is 11.
