Ok so I don't know a lot about your sitch but I think that it's safe to say that your ex is more angry at himself then he is at you. I guess the life he envisioned isn't quite the life he got huh?
Anyway, the first thing you need to do is to get a grip. First off there is noway he can get your kids to hate you. Chances are, your kids (especially the older ones) have already formed their own opinion and pretty much know what really happened and who is responsible for what. Why would you let a crazy person who has already shown himself to be a liar and a cheat upset you like this?
Just cover your bases. Ideally if you could tape his calls, or better yet keep things to e-mail just in case it should go to court, it would be clear to anyone that he is not rational. Besides, CS is calculated based on a certain percentage. He can't just pick a figure out of the air and tell you that he's having it cut by that much. Jeez, your divorce papers are not even cold yet,so unless his salary has radically changed, I just don't see it!
