It is summertime... there are kids out of school/college. What town in NC (I live there too and there are resources through the major universities) You should be able to get a regular day "off" I would definately talk to the CSE office and see about modification for child support... and you may even be able to get it life long for your daughter because she is not going to magically be independant at age 18. If school isn;t out, talk to your child's assistant in her class, s/he may be looking for a little supplimental income over the summer, this would give you time to yourself.
