[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of us aren't nitpicking[b].  some of us are trying to point out that it sounds like OP's ex-husband does not have the money he did when the support agreement was signed.  And that if that is the case, they are going to have to make some changes.
[/b]
My ex was unemployed for a few months last year.  I assumed that if that unemployment lasted, he might have to choose to pay his mortgage vs. paying his child support.  I was prepared to swallow it for a few months, and he could pay me back later.  it would have sucked - I have a big mortgage and our yearly child-related expenses are not small.  We would have made sacrifices, including vacations.

Just saying that there is something going on here, and I'm not sure taking the ex to court is going to have the desired effect.  What if she does this, he admits he's not making much, the support gets slashed AND she has legal fees to pay?  [/quote]

If that is the case, OP's ex doesn't get to change the child support agreement utilaterlly. He needs to tell the court about it and let the court make adjustments. OP has very generously offered to have a financial person take a look at what he can pay, but he refused. The ex is a prick. Time to get a lawyer and let the court sort it out. [/quote]
