His wife works too...but yes I understand that they are basically poor and the MI thing completely. The sports thing was what he offered this past year and I readily accepted as he had never offered ANYTHING before. I know that going through the court isn't going to serve me well, thus my motivation to come up with something REASONABLE...his motivation is that my 2nd ex told him 3 years ago what HE was paying and that I planned on raking him over the coals, which wasn't true but helped me quite a bit in him being more agreeable. So my dilemma is to take the first offer, or try for something that is more agreeable with the chance that it becomes a court issue that I probably won't win...but $12 per month is NOT reasonable. He just came back replying that he will offer a $25 dollar increase monthly along with the additional stuff already mentioned. Not sure what to do...
