Legal Question
I am divorced. I have full custody of one of our children age 8 and my ex wife has custody of two ages 11 & 13. We have a court order in place for the last 2yrs to split child care expenses. She has refused to do so for the last 2yrs. I pay child care, sporting club fees, a one time dental procedure, counseling and the normal cost of living expenses for care of a minor child for the child in my care. I also pay health care for all three children. She only has normal cost of living expenses. She now said she is going to file for child support because I won't give her $200 a month. I know she got laid off 3 months ago but has been back to work for a month now full time and has worked a part time job for the last 2yrs. My income however has not changed. Is it possible for her to be awarded child support? Can I file for contempt for her refusal to split cost? I am willing and have tried to get full custody of other two, but at the time did not have a big enough place, now I do. Do I have grounds to change custody if she can not financially provide now?
