I am Mom to two little boys. My husband and I split a couple of years ago. He works nights. After school, the kids stay with him for a few hours everyday until I get them after work at 7. We alternate weekends, becuase he has every other one off.

He is now trying to get child support from me. I make 25K more than he does.

The kids are with me so much more, 5 nights a week. When he doesn't have to work, they are with him as well.

We have joint custody, but he seems to think that he is entitled to this full custody payment, even though they are with me more!

I guess what I am asking, is that right? If our two sons are with me more, why should he get child support? Since he does make less than me, I do give him cash to spend on the kids needs. I think this is enough, but he wants to go and fight in court. It is going to come to a custody battle, and is going to be very long, expensive, and ugly for the boys and for us.

Is there anything I can say to help him see the light? Am I wrong?

theendishere,
when you posted in the Emotional Needs forum in May, the thread is called "Sex Question"
