Question

I don't know. You text H for help with the computer. Why?

You are pushing this meeting and he's not responding. You could be facing budget cuts or worse, no job, and you let him pay you when he wants and how much he wants.

You have patience I wouldn't have.

You don't want a D but say he is "compulsive liar and master manipulator."

You don't want to bring lawyers into it because you are worried he'll get visitation rights and yet you want things to work out.

I know I've been all over the place, but I'm wondering if you don't need to sit down and really look at the finances and what it is he brings to the equation.

I think you need to scare him straight and the only way to do that is to do something to force him to live up to his financial responsibilities. I don't know what those options are in Indiana.
