No word on the job yet. If I got the job I would have an extra $400 a month over what I do now after taxes(not including my alimony which I think X would try to eliminate of course), and my child support would go down, so if it was cut in half, I'd have the same amount as I do now. I still wouldn't have enough to pay for therapies for the kids, vet care, etc. I asked the L if we can increase the standard amount of child support b/c of the kids special needs and extra needs to help pay for medications and therapies.
I told her the shared parenting responsibility (decision-making) won't and hasn't worked in our case. He's a dictator and shared decision-making is just a joke with him as you know.
There are 20 or so factors they use to determine custody of the kids, so she wants me to type up a few paragraphs re: most of them re: X and include some emails which relate to them, or list incidents such as the incident where he pulled her out of the car, and cussed at me at the school. So I guess I'll try to do that as much as I can.
She asked me to get the federal regulation the D10's principal stated was the reason ESE takes 9 to 18 months for the eval process. I called the ESE office, FL Dept. of Education, and the woman there told me the principal was wrong, once I filed the letter they have 60 days. She said she was going to call the head of ESE for Leon County and make sure the principal was aware of that, and seemed to think it would be done in 60 days. Wow--if that is true!!!
I had a really sore throat today, thought coming down with a cold, but I just took my temp & have a 101 fever. I was so cranky & nasty when the L was acting that way to me, I gave it back, she was shocked said I'm acting so different. I think I am stressed out but being sick today wasn't good, or maybe it was.
