I've been thinking about how to address expectations since the separation agreement hasn't been signed or really acknowledged.
I'd like for H to know what I expect from him so I don't get another BS response when he needs to pay for something that isn't normally covered by child support. Keep in mind the amount he provides, he came up with what he thought was fair...(it's a few hundred less than he should be paying according to our state).
I'm thinking about requesting some sort of over the phone mediation..I'm just not sure how to address it.
Ultimately H did the right thing with the back to school supplies, but technically he should be paying for 1/2 the uncovered medical expenses as well and I've never asked for that. It's not that much maybe a total of $100 over the past year, but it seems like you give an inch and they take a mile.
I covered the kids b-day gifts, wrote both of our names on the cards, and since they are older it's more $$. Like I said, I just don't know how to address it. I don't want to pursue the separation agreement, I got one that I thought was fair and presented it to him and he didn't like that he'd have to pay extra $ based on the state and haven't heard anything about it since.
