The original amount agreed upon was based on the guidelines for this state. It was never put in writing because they haven't finished their papers. They went to two or three mediation meetings then stopped. At one of them, the amount he pays was set. Also, she wasn't working back then. She is now and has been since September. I'm not sure if she has insurance for them yet because I'm not sure she's able to get it yet, having only worked there 4 months. He has insurance covering both girls plus her.

I know that he increased the amount he pays her by $100 in November because she told him she needed more. He doesn't want the girls to suffer. But like I said, I keep his books and I know how much is left over each month and it's not enough to give her what she wants.

Her big gripe right now, again, is me. She's gone a complete 360 in the last 10 months, from not wanting the girls to be left alone with me, to bringing them over for an overnight when he was out of state because she had a meeting to go to, to having me bring them home on the two nights a week they're here after school, to now not wanting them around me again. Beats me why her mood goes in circles. But this last bit of b.s. just started two nights ago and I'm just too tired to keep dealing with her.
