Oh yeah, if anyone's reading who knows about this... My office suitemate turns out to have volunteered with the local abused womens shelter and she said I should get my butt over to the juvenile domestic relations court and get an order in for child support asap. She said making it separate from the separation agreement makes it possible to change support without going back to court for a change to the separation agreement, for example when your employment situation changes. We all know by now that H's decision to pay the mortgage to the mortgage company in lieu of child support is not OK, even though the amount is about the same as child support would be, it's going into his equity and he'll get that back. That's not right.
I think I should ramp up and get my house into just my name asap before my job goes away, get the support formalized, and then get a separation agreement finished.
