When my ex-husband and I divorced, we agreed in the papers that we would
share custody, one week at a time, with no one paying child support. Verbally, we always agreed that once our daughter started school, she would stay full time with me and visit him every other weekend and one night during the school week. I still allow him to keep her until 8 p.m. after school on the weeks that used to be deemed \"his.\" However, with after-school activities, my ex-husband may take her to the activity, but I pick her up. I feed her dinner. I put her to bed. I get her up the next morning and get her ready for school. My daughter is definitely with me at least 51% of the time. I\'d say it is more like 75% of the time. I want to know if I would qualify for child support if I decided to take my ex-husband to court to get the divorce papers changed. And would a judge change them? My daughter is not in an un-healthy environment at any time, but my ex-husband and I are following through with our verbal agreement, so actual custody has changed (just not on paper.) I just can\'t afford to pay for a lawyer and lose the case and make my relationship with my daughter\'s father any more uncomfortable. If you have any advise, I would appreciate it. |

What you agreed in the papers is irrelevant. What do your court orders say?
If you wish to go back to court to change the orders, you will need to show that there has been a significant change in circumstances justifying a reassessment. Once it has been established that a reassessment it justified, however, the father has every right to try to sway the change in his favor as well. |
