I'm at the point now where I can't pay the kids copays anymore; its down to paying food/rent or therapies. They are prob. about $400 a month right now. My L emailed me late this week that H's L said he can't help out with the copayments, even partial or half, as he's doing child support/alimony already. This is the email I'm planning on sending him with a cc to my L. I wanted to check with y'all first. I feel sick about having to do this.

Just to keep you informed, as you know I've been paying the copayments for the kids for the past 7 months, and I can no longer do so. I will be canceling the kids future therapies, including D9's weekly speech/ot. I will also be canceling S15's dentist appt next week if it is the standard $44 to $400 as I don't have the money to pay for them at this point. I still plan on trying to pay for Dr. X (D9's psych) and pay for D9's meds as long as I can do that. Please discuss with your attorney and/or mine if you have any questions. Does anyone have any comments or think this is ok to send? More worried about from a legal standpoint than a DB, but you guys are better than most Ls imho.

My L asked me about setting for temp hearing. I want to do so, but his financial affidavit he filed a year ago, he was paying the mortgage, homeowner's insurance, prop taxes, which he isn't paying now or the last 7/8 months. He also was paying 3 or 4 credit cards the minimums for those were probably at least a grand/month since he ran them up when he started the A.

I kept getting emails for several months from one of his cards (forwarded them to H immediately, but he didn't change my email so I kept getting them. On at least one of them, it looked like he didn't pay on it for 3 or 4 months before I finally stopped getting the emails. I think he's not paying on any of them maybe and going to file B. If that's the case, he has more $$$ than I do, and should be helping out on the copays. My L asked his L to file an updated financial affidavit, b/c if we go into hearing with his old one it looks like he's in more debt than I am. But I don't think that's true.
