    Default Childcare expenses

    My husband is supposed to pay $258 a month to his ex wife for his half of childcare expenses. Only thing is, he thought that the child would be placed in a licensed childcare facility or provider, and now the ex wife is having her family take care of the child pocketing the money. There was also a week that we had the child for vacation that childcare wasn't used because she was going to have her family do it so I took off to spend time with the child.

    Is there anything that we can do about this obligation. It states that it's not subject to the 15% rule (we don't even know what that is). Does that mean it can't be changed?

    The child will be attending pre-school 5 days a week. If it was fulltime that cost would be $516a month...but if not and the child is only there from 9-12 it's only $180 a month which my husband would be paying almost 3 times his half and the ex would get the excess money and not have to pay her half.

    We currently got assigned a parenting coordinator and a financial coordinator to keep from having litigations but I don't even know who to take this matter to or if we could get it changed.

    Preferably I would like the childcare expense my husband owes to be UP TO $60 and if it's less then he pay half of whatever it is.
    We had agreed to pay $60 because the norm of childcare expense is about 120 a week and the mother wanted the daughter to be in a program that was $210 a week. But now we are still getting taken advantage of. What do we do?

    Also with the child being put in her friends and family's houses we opted not to pick up the child for the normal monday visitation because the mom had her somewhere new, that was atleast 45 minutes away from us, and she couldn't give us a the real address, only what she thought it was and where she thought it was. When we asked for the sitters number she wouldn't give it to us. So we told her we would not be picking up the child (which I'm sure is what she wanted) is there anything that we can do about that, or is it gonna be held against us since we didn't commense our parenting time?

    HELP!!

    Given the status of your case, and the appointment of both financial and parenting time coordinators, you should seek advice from a lawyer who can review your orders and speak to your particular situation.

    That sounds like an issue your financial coordinator may be able to address or resolve.
