Thanks guys.

Demeter- that's what I think. Sounds like you know what you are talking about. I know I am a fit parent, sometimes I feel bad that my son is so far away from his family that he was used to being around every day. But I did not see myself going anywhere where we were living at the time.

cj- I hope you understood that this every-other-week arrangement is ONLY for the summer. That's 9 weeks. And that the schedule would go back as normal once school started again. We verbally agreed to that with no prior discussion on any fluxuation with child support. Since we had such a fair and easy divorce, we felt fine with minor verbal agreements if need be and if they weren't major. he wasn't even paying child support to me for the first 6 months but at least i've been nice not to hit him up for the back. Also, we agreed that since the repo'd car was in both of our names and we are both held responsible for the payments that his half of the payment (which is only 1/4 of child support payments) would be part of the child support he pays. I wouldn't ask any more. I am fine with what I get but I think it is not okay of him to NOT pay anything. You cannot mess around with the state, ESPECIALLY when it comes to child support. It differs with each state, but I KNOW that Washington St. has very strict guidelines.

I am seeking legal advice tonight, and explaining the whole situation. No matter what, we will get this adjusted with EVERYTHING in writing.
