My oldest sons mother called me today to let me know we have an appointment with a mediator, to discuss me paying more child support. Right now the amount I'm paying is based on a job I had two years ago. After that job, I started for Radio Shack making 2 bucks an hour less than the other spot. I didn't bother getting my child support changed, (here it's based on your gross income) because I didn't think it was that necessarry. I pay my support willingly and gladly every month.

So a few months ago as we all know, my other ex left me. Since then, ex #1 has been super nice to me, which is a characteristic she has never displayed. Everytime I talk to her I get the sense that there's something more. The obvious truth here is (and I swear this isn't an ego thing) is that she assumed that meant we could get back together. Well, nothing could be farther from the truth. I think after a few months now she's starting to understand this and is mad (she's a little unbalanced). So I get this call out of the blue.

Now up until now, she's hesitated on taking me to court (I make more money now) because she know's that if we go back to court, that gives me oppourtunity to get overnight visits, weekend visists etc. As it stands right now, I can't take him out for the day without her approval, which I have yet to receive in three years. So if we go back to court, I can have all of this changed. Well, she called me on it, and is taking the chance because she's mad at me.

At first I was mad, until I came to discover that my company has an assistance program that provides among other things, legal representation to employees, free of charge. The best part, is that she doesn't know this, so when I show up in court with a lawyer, she's gonna be dumbfounded.


YAYYYYYY for Radio Shack!!!!

Hey! Perhaps your luck is changing. Karma? I say take advantage of this to shoe horn some visitation rights out of her.

Good luck

Wait, I don't get it... if it's based on your income, and you're making less at Radio Shack, why does she want to change what you pay?

My man, I am happy for you. I went through similar nonsense during my divorce. I told her at the time I play for keeps...if she wanted to be civil, fine that would be easy. If she wanted to be an asshole, that was fine. My job history allowed me to work with a number of lawyers and in a number of law offices. My ex started making nonsensical demands, called a buddy of mine who's brother is a killer matrimonial lawyer, he shows up at court, my ex, well she had her cousin who, I kid you not, was a real estate attorney.

Needless to say, things got real civil, real quickly.

Oh and, listen, your ex...is she 'available'? I mean, I am not currently attached and I have a thing for looney chicks. The more unstable, the better.

No no, I guess reading that back I see I wasn't clear about that. When I FIRST started at Radio Shack I was making less. I was making minimum wage. That was two years ago, since then I've been promoted to manager and given my own store. So Now I make ALOT more. So she can get more money.

What bothers me is that she's only doing it because she's mad. Mad at me, for not getting back together with her, mad at Radio Shack for paying me twice as much as what she makes, mad at the world because she's gonna be single, alone, and miserable for the rest of her life, ect ect..
