As a side note... I really feel sorry for my SS and SD as their world is about to get doubly rocked. My W's XH has traditionally paid us a pittance in child support. Over the years we've simply decided to not pick a fight since a) he made so little what we would get is paltry really and b) we valued his positive involvement with SS and SD.

However, over the past few months the one thing he does do, pay for SS and SD school lunches, he can't seem to manage. My W is frustrated and reasonably so, plus he has a new and better paying job. Knowing she will need money when we are apart she is planning to file a court date and have the court reopen and reset the child support number. This means he'll probably go from paying $100 to around $650/month. He's going to be pissed!

And from past experiences it isn't going to be pretty. He is not good at co-parenting so it will be vicious and vile I suspect. And of course the SS and SD will be caught in the middle of it.

Then a few months after that they will get the news about us. Going to be a banner 2012 for those two kids. frown
