Whew, what a relief. At least you were semi prepared for the worst case scenario mentally I mean. You'd mentioned getting a job to help out. Not that it's any of my business but I was confused by the 'paying back the Feds' issue. I've never had to deal w/ child support issues myself so am kinda dumb that way. Does the money just go there since his X is on welfare? If she's not getting it, why would she fight to have it increased? Hmmm, I guess it didn't help her too much to now have to make copayments. I do have a friend fighting for child support right now from her X (big jerk) and she doesn't know too much about it either. Hopefully her lawyer is on the ball. Well, congrats. Hope all goes well.

Aravis-

CONGRATULATIONS!! That must just be a sigh of relief to both of you. that means you have a while before she can try again and maybe after this she never will.

Just keep slamming through school;-)

Ahhh, I got it now. Yes, my friend is having a hard time but they are also struggling w/ joint custody issues. This guy has major drug problems that i think are going to come out of the closet in courst so I'm sure it'll get way ugly. GL

If she has a decent lawyer, she will probably be fine.

I'm glad that it didn't turn out as bad as it could have, and that you will be able to stay home. That's fantastic news!
