My ex has been in contempt of our court order for months. He is refusing to pay costs of childcare, helathcare, dental and school activities. Now he is again bringing our 6 year old home hours after the agreed upon time. How and what do I file to get him to abide by the court order and pay what he had agreed to pay?

Then what? I pay even more money to go back to court? I have already spent more than I will get in CS in years. This is a joke...one parent always gets screwed while the other makes out like a bandit. This state's laws suck. I have lost my job of 16 years and my career because I could not move out of state. I pay for everything and he plays in the bar everynight. He refuses to pay for her needs everytime. I cannot spend my life in court making paralegals and lawyers rich while I can barely afford to eat. I cannot wait until she turns 18 so I never have to talk to him again.

What many of us would give to have the privilege of having our children in our home, making them meals, putting them to bed, along with all the good and difficult things that go with bringing up a child. Count your blessings. Many of us would trade what you have in a heartbeat. Don't wish those years away, but instead enjoy every moment you have with your beautiful child!

You asked what to file and I told you. If you dont want to pay more money to go to Court, than you are not going to enforce the decree or the child support order.
If it was me, I would pay anything for my kids. But I understand being a single parent and not having someone pay. Been there myself.
Sorry I could not help you further. Good luck to you in the future.

I never said I did not appreciate having her my 50% even when I have to pay for 100%. But losing my job and my livelihood and having to pay and pay when sinking financially is no picnic.

As a single mom, we have all been there. But we have all gotten through it too. It makes us stronger beings and just appreciate our children all the more. The kids will appreciate it too when they get older as well. They know more than you think.
