REALITY CHECK REQUESTED:

BACKGROUND:

1. XW gets $3000/month in unallocated support.

2. Parenting plan specifies S12 is with me from 3PM until the next morning on Tuesdays, Thursdays and every other weekend. Nothing in there about me paying for his care from 8Am-3PM on thoise days if it's summer or XW is working.

3. Hockey is $3000/year. I agreed to pay half of that, but now I get bills for $17 for half the price of a sweatshirt for the team; $15 for half the price of a music book; ANYTHING extracurricular.

Here's some back and forth emails from her to me. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON HER ENDING LINE? I NEED TO GET OVER HER EMOTIONALLY? WHAT?

I never contact her, and I'm barraged by these emails from her all the time with her hand out.

I'm in the process of buying a new house and getting re-married.

HER:

Here are my latest expenses for the kids. The check to Br.... is all yours for the Tuesday 8/31 care for S12. Section O of the parenting plan.

We have a lot of unpaid/clear accounting from prior months. I haven't seen anything from you for the actuary for the QDRO and I am waiting for insurance payments for bill since may and beyond for example. And there are other payments that have not been paid in full.Please go through your bills/emails etc and let's get that cleared up.
Thanks.

ME TO HER:

I will write a check for my portion of the medical and other expenses that you have attached. There is no provision in the parenting plan anywhere for me to provide any child care for S12 prior to 3PM on the days that I am scheduled to pick him up. It simply is not there. I'm not going to pay for 8/31 or any other day where he is with me after 3PM. I will also caution you about dropping him off at my work as you did in July. Once again, that's why you are given a substantial amount of compensation per month.

Secondly, although I agreed to pay for half of S12s hockey because that's a huge expense, nowhere in the divorce agreement is it written that I need to pay half of every minor extracurricular. If you can find it, please send it to me, because not one of the copies of the agreement do I have that.

Third, I realize that I have to pay half of the amount for a QDRO, but I simply will not tolerate, under any circumstances, a continual flow of legal bills so that you can tweak my pension numbers until you get to numbers that your finally happy with, as occurred during the divorce.

HER TO ME:

You can save attorney fees by following the agreement or by self representing but I need the money for your share of the expenses.  I am contacting my attorney to follow up with yours about these. 

You owe me for very old insurance claims, the actuary for the QDRO, other unpaid medical expenses and activities for the kids.  If you are going to self represent please let me know that too. 

Why can't you just get over all of the silliness and do what you should as a dad? You have to let go of your emotional tie to me, please, for your sake and most importantly the kids.
