I have the child-support software here at the office, I ran us through it, and the number is bigger than I expected. When I present it to H, I'm pretty sure he's gonna flip out.

I'm debating the best way to present the request to him- if I do it face to face, I'm just gonna end up facing a tirade (based on past discussions) and he won't hear much of what I say. He has a lousy track record of listening and a very good one of deflecting. If I do it in an e-mail, I'll be accused of being a coward- but at least there would be a paper trail for the request.

I'm really dreading this conversation. I just want to be fair. I thought a time to bring it up would be when we go over last year's tax return and the financial aid forms to be filled out for college. Any suggestions?
