So, I share 50/50 custody with my child’s father, but I didn’t fully understand what that meant at the time. Now he’s filed a motion to lower child support again and wants more parenting time. He was originally ordered to pay $736, then we agreed on $300, and now he wants it down to $100-200 because he quit his job and is on unemployment. He also has a gun charge against him.
He owes $800 in child support and doesn’t even see our child, who is 6 years old, during his scheduled time. He’s verbally abusive, an alcoholic, and has threatened to harm my youngest child from my current relationship. My child has been living with me for 5 years, and I take care of everything like I have sole custody.
I really don’t want the child support to be lowered again. I think it’s best for my child to stay with me since he’s hardly around. Should I file a counter motion about his gun charge and all the other issues? Please help me.
