Excellent information.
I will be calling for a consultation. Being a Father who pays child support,Insurance and loves his kids there is so much help and support for the Mother and not much for Dads.
I feel the same way. However, I am on the other side of things. I have custodial right, my son lives with me and his mother is in Utah. When we got the divorce their was no talk about her moving out of state, in fact six months later she picked up her things and was moved to Utah christmas day. So in the divorce we agreed to mutally support the child and that the visitaion would be every other weekend and have joint custody. Well now I have been working with DCS to get at least a modification to the child support. It is very hard it has taken 6 months for DSC to actuall TRY and server my ex. I was just told recently that it may be another 60 to 120 days before she starts paying support. Coming from a divorced family myself and hearing what others say it seems if the mother had custodial custody the process would be much faster. I have been trying to get help on modifing the parenting time and the custody to full time, and it seems that no-one has an answer but why would you want to do that? I feel that if it was the other way around I would have lost joint custody and the parenting time would have been changed with in 1 month and not 6 months to a year. What advice can I get to get full custody and change the parenting time?
