[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 667203, member: 16024"] Hi Lil, Thanks for your reply. The agreement was drawn up by my lawyer and signed off on by X. Was approved by the court. The $10 per month was the minimum in this state at the time. I hear its gone to $30 per month now. At the time he didn't have a job or unemployment, so it was the natural way to go. He mainly wanted the 'no abuse' stipulation. It didn't matter. All I really wanted was full custody and he agreed. Not sure exactly why he agreed, but I was lucky he did. Probably because he didn't have a job at that moment in time and didn't have the $ to spend on a lawyer or child support. He didn't even ask to have any visitation, maybe because he was far away at the time. It really wasn't about him not wanting to pay child support, however. He just couldn't afford it at the time. Soon after, he got a job and paid me the whole amount owed till 18 out of his first check. And he has sent me money throughout the years voluntarily. That's mainly how I know he has a job. I will get a new insurance card for daughter and a check, sometimes regularly. Then it just stops and I know he no longer has a job. I personally think he was/is so self-absorbed that nothing and no one else factored in for the most part. He is a Difficult Child, but more like Suzir's son than my step-son. He has emailed me a couple of times since The Request. I have just been ignoring them all. I hope he gets the hint and doesn't ask again, but I know that I am just putting it off till later down the road. I tend to put things off and hope they will go away. Sometimes it even works. On the SSDI, I just need to find out how this will affect my tax situation. That's why I haven't applied yet. [/QUOTE]
