No, we had not discussed it. I expected it because I always expect my H to be an a$shole.

He just responded to the text, telling me he had tried to send a text Monday to give me the heads up. I never received the text, but he forwarded what he said he sent.

He essentially unilaterally decided what he thinks he should be paying in support. He said he talked to a lot of people who disagreed with what L thinks I should get. So he decided to cut his support essentially in half until the courts decide the amount of support.

L and I will meet week after next.

Meanwhile, H sends a text, saying, "Remember I get the kids today" and then asked, "You clowns headed to the beach tomorrow?" When I replied, "yes," he said, "Lucky you."

Yeah. I'm sooooo lucky ...

I guess this gives him a feeling of "power." His financial support was his ace in the hole.
