When we divorced we got shared custody. I got Care & Control. He paid child support. His lifestyle is better and so as kids got older his house seemed better than crappy home. They wanted to go live there. I was worried of losing them by not being able to provide for them as well. He agreed that until they were moved out he would still pay child support to me so they would have the same home with me no matter what. Now after a year he is changing his mind. I agreed to a cut in the child support originally cause now I was working. Now he doesn't want to pay at all. I can't afford things on my own yet so I would have to move. He is being a real jerk and making out like I am a big loser being cruel and heartless.

The court order has never changed. Can I take him to Maintenance Enforcement and force the issue for now? He won't be reasonable. This is what he wanted to happen in the beginning to force me out of their lives. I should have never given in on lettingthem go to their Dad. I was trying to do what was best for them and now they are going to lose their mother to the buying and the brainwashing he does! I know they don't mean to do it but they are kids and they won't understand it til its too late.
