Hi there,

Slight problem. I hope y'all can give me some advice on it.

Custodial parent (Mom) is receiving child support calculated with year-round child care costs included. Non-custodial parent (Dad) has kids for a third of the year, including six one-week periods over summer, spring break and winter vacation. Mom is now refusing to pay child care costs during the weeks Dad has the kids.

With Dad, kids would only be in child care for the same hours that they would be if they were with Mom. Dad can't afford to pay childcare costs. What should Dad do?

Any help would be appreciated.
