I have a question for the volunteers here....

If mom signed an agreement to get the child to school on time, and she's violating it, should dad try to hold her in contempt?

The best thing you can do is to be civil to the other parent and support your kid in any way you can.

And hope that when/if the time comes that you are truly what is best for your child, your ex...

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: mississippi.

Ok so I've been here before and was discouraged from fighting for custody of my children because I didn't have a good...

He DOES have custody. I pay him child support. I also pay my mom for their expenses. He does not pay anyone anything.

There's no emerging medical need--we were told 2 years ago that the older one needed it or her teeth would only get worse. Youngest is dealing with the same issues so I know it's coming. I'd rather...

No, the only thing that remotely addresses medical is the original 50% of expenses.

He doesn't carry any type of insurance on them at all.

I know I'm gonna end up footing the bill for the...

It's just omitted completely. The order is really short. Unfortunately, I got my retainer back already so I can't really ask my lawyer now.

Do you really think a judge is going to punish your ex for getting your kids OFF of assistance?

I pretty much agree. Plus, I'm the one who wants them with my parents so he's essentially doing me a favor by allowing them to be there.
