Turns out, the commitment to therapy was for ONE meeting. I am still willing to do that, but I think it best to wait until after our court date on Monday.
After court, I have an appointment at DCSS to see if it is appropriate for them to modify the child support. DCSS received a payment on October 4.
I am trusting that Rick will continue to pay child support. Last time (in May) it only lasted a month. I am REALLY hoping it lasts longer than that. I received a notice confirming that the cash aid is cancelled. I will be relying solely on support from Rick beginning November 1 since I already received the $924 for October. Ironically, Rick's WEEKLY check (gross income) is close to that amount!
I'm tired of fighting. I won't stop, I'm just tired. I really want things to be different. I want my children to have a peace that I didn't have as a child. I will keep fighting. I'm just tired.
I can do this.
In Temple interviews with the Bishop where there is a divorce and children involved, the non-custodial parent is always asked if he/she is current on child support payments. If he is not, they will not issue the Temple recommend. Maybe a recommend is his goal. If he eventually does get the recommend, be careful. He may stop after that.
ReplyDeleteIf his wages are being garnished, is that not a good sign since garnishment is involuntary (at least in most states it is)?
Turns out that Ricks weekly check has been more like double that amount - for the past six months. We go back to court Dec 17 for a modification.
DeleteI'm not sure if a recommend is even his goal any time soon. He would have to be fully up to date. And it is tough to take care of a $26,000 debt...
