The Fab 5 and Dad

[J5K]

Hope everyone is doing well.

The motion was heard in court last week. XW has to pay child support now. More than what I thought. She has not paid any of the L fees or the extracurricular from the last time we were in court 2 months ago. Judge told her lawyer she has to pay.

The last couple of months have been rough. Boys have been seeing mom every two weeks and they have had a hard time adjusting. During this time she would call two or three times a week. Now with the new results she has only called once this past week since the last visit.

She and I also need to meet with a parenting coordinator to learn how to coparent better. I am sure I will learn things I am doing wrong and need to keep my feelings and emotions out of the discussions we have.

Both S7s continue on a rollercoaster ride due to the D. They are going to therapy weekly and are also attending pet therapy that a teacher is trying to implement in the school district. It seems to be helping.

Now I am looking for an au pair to help with things since XW only wants the boys one week each month over the summer. The judgement says different and I interpret it as all or nothing for summer parenting time. I guess we will see what the parenting coordinator says.

I know the boys miss their mom. I wish there is more I could do to fix things but know that is beyond my control. Still considering moving there, but we are still a long way from making that decision. In the meantime we will see what happens with the payments she now owes. I did find out that whatever laws are in the states are recipricol and can be enforced in Canada and vice versa. So there is no running away from her responsibility from a financial perspective since she made the choice to D.
