Just the rumour of it, must make you feel somewhat better regarding your job?

It IS encouraging. And I do feel more like I'm catching on.
In other news, xh has decided he wants to renegotiate child support since my income has increased. Three months ago he was fine with it all; I think he's leaning on the improved goodwill between us with the new girlfriend to make this move. Cripe--he's already paying less than 5% of his income, which is absurd. What a jerk--like we're living high on the proverbial hog or something.

Hoosh...is the CS in your state calculated by a state-run program calculator? If it is, then why not just let him have the state re-run the figures? It must be wrong if he's only paying 5%??

I remember a few years ago when my sister's ex wanted to re-negotiate child support, he was paying $100 per month and wanted to pay $0 (I'm not kidding!). He went to a lawyer to initiate the court process and was told to go back to my sister and beg her to take $300 a month from him and not take this to court. What a morooon that guy was and my sister got $200 more per month!
I'm sure that if he pushes--and I push back, which I will--he'll back down rather than pay a lawyer. And even if this goes as far as court, he'll get shot down and end up paying MORE in support--especially since I'm now covering her health insurance. And I think he knows all that, and is just trying to see if I'm still the doormat I was at the end of the marriage. And that hoosiermama has retired long ago!

hoosier...in my state, CS is calculated and enforced by the Department of Justice and nobody needs an attorney to get it modified. If he would end up paying more, you should march yourself to where-ever you need to go, and get it upped!
