And I don't know what it is...but it feels like a rock in the middle of my gut. The ex has paid his child support up to date...and he even paid his youngest's school fees (for the FIRST time in 5 YEARS). History shows whenever he is NICE....we are headed to court. So -- that will mean my 43rd appearance in court! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Oh what to wear, what to wear!!! Maybe this time I'll show cleavage? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Cleavage might be ok.
Having him pay up what is fair for the child is wonderful!

I think after the 40th visit, you can show cleavage AND thighs, LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />
I'm glad you've gotten what you're owed, regardless!

well I wouldn't want to distract the judge though!
yeah...amazing that he's paid up. It's kind of like someone who's been starving and there's finally food there. Thing is, I'm terrified to use it in case I don't see anything for years!

I do understand your mixed emotions. Kind of keeps you off balance too and that is a sort of mind control, no matter how you try not to out think this.
The agenda might very well be an attempt to portray himself as compliant with all his obligations of support and to be seen in a good light when you try to get this settlement.
I hope you do not have to go to court again, unless it is to bring about a final settlement.

anoknow!!!!
You hit the nail right on the head. When we head to court he can say, "Your honor I have been making my payments on time and I'm not in arrears! I even paid for all her school fees".
He's taking the whole family on a luxurious vacation at Christmas. Planning on going to Mexico I think.

All I can say is to keep a record of what he pays and when. Also what the money is intended for as well as what it is used for. Even if it is spent on that new dress and pushup bra <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
