Going out to dinner tonight with the good Dr. then out to her ranch tomorrow. This is the first weekend our schedules have been aligned in a month so it should be fun. Last time I saw her was on Tuesday for a night of indoor Olympics.
The XW texted me last night to tell me she was going back to school for her second Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design. Told me what school she was going to and how long it will take. She is taking out loans to complete it. I thought that was nice that she felt the need to let me know. I just told her Congratulations and Good Luck.
The girls have soccer games tomorrow morning if it doesn't rain tonight so I am looking forward to that. My boss is moving on to a new position so I am hopeful that I will have a shot at his job when he leaves. It would obviously be more responsibility but also a boost in salary as well. 2 years ago I would not have been emotionally able to handle the job change but I feel now that I am ready.
Ummm...... don't you think the Ex might have been telling you that as a prelude to asking for more child support? If she goes back to school and has no earned income how would that affect child support calculations?
She said it was part time, at night, on-line and would take her 2.5 years to finish. It didn't sound like she was quitting her job as a teacher to go full time.
So if she decides to quit her job or teach part time to pursue a second degree you would potentially have to pay more child support? I mean this decision is not involuntary. Is that how this stuff works?

It is my understanding that after a 2 or 3 year period anyone can go back and attempt to get more CS or get it reduced as people's financial situations change.
According to my L (and this may just be a CA thing, so consult your legal professional), child support orders can be changed until children reach the age of majority (18) or graduate high school.
W has told me in the past that with her being a federal employee, as she climbs up the salary / GS levels, at some point she will be making over 6-figures. I’m sure she will find out what that means for my requesting child support over the coming years.
