We run 7-7 with holidays spelled out in the divorce agreement. I kinda wish we went with 5-2 (weekdays w me), and Summers being in her favor because I am much more stringent on education than she is
2-2-3 is ridiculous. The child is very adaptable, thankfully, so it doesn't seem to be negatively affecting her much now. It just makes things a pain to plan/coordinate, and makes it feel like neither place is really home for her.

Try a rotating 3-4 schedule. That way you don't have to miss your kids for an entire week, you get 2 full weekends a month with them and still have time for your own life.
That sounds ideal.

Bamagirl,
You are literally the only Bama fan I will ever root for!
FYI, Louisiana had free tuition for children of deceased/injured vets. If your kid is still in college, you might want to look into it
Much appreciated!
I'm going to look into that, I've never heard of it. He's still in HS but goes off to college in the fall. Any help would be fantastic. They've slowly stripped all his benefits away. He was supposed to get medical till 21 and they took that when he turned 18. Bistards

It really does make the best of a bad situation. Even on her days I'll pick them up and meet her if I am able to so I get that extra time with them.
As much as I hate to say it I'm glad the split happened when they were little. (1 month old and 2) and we were able to work it out amongst ourselves.
Makes it easier on the kids and the both of us.

Each LA State school has a veterans affairs office/rep. My ex is disabled military which means my son will be going to LA Tech, tuition free.
The VA also has a college benefit for children of disabled vets. Meaning my son will also be receiving a $1200/month stipend to attend college on top of receiving free tuition.
Have your child look into an LA school and then contact them to see if the benefit is extended to out of state students.

yea. I have mine every other weekeend and we organize extended holidays and extra weeks in summer to get me to 60/40. But b/c I'm in BR and they are in Madisonville and Natchez respectively I can never have a true 50/50.
I will always pay 1050 to one and 1029 to the other as well as split extra shite.
I don't mind too much these days as things are amicable as can be.
We share a Google calendar to organize and plan stuff. We get along very well(FB friends and share pics etc). This makes the kids happy.
Getting bent out of shape over money you pay an ex wife is essentially 'killing yourself' with stress and worry about shite you can't control. Even if you were to 'get her' by finding an attorney and a loophole, what are you really accomplishing by saving few hundred a month?
Being Bitter is stupid. Trust me coming from a guy who, with 2 degrees and a great job, had to resort to delivering pizzas from 2011-2015 as a second job to pay CS.

Yeah, I imagine I'd be a lot more bitter if my entire income was going to support not the kids as much as the ex. It breeds resentment and that can bleed over into your other relationships and relationships with the kids.

You should be a motivational speaker with this alone. His ex is bitter AF. To the point where she's sending me and my family members "anonymous" mail & email. It's gross. Move on, lady.

Louisiana Veteran Education Benefits
Dependents Educational Assistance
Section 288 of Title 29 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 has been amended and re-enacted to provide financial aid for children and surviving spouses of certain veterans of this state who died in service in the Armed Forces of the United States or died of a service connected disability incurred during a wartime period.
The law provides the same benefits for those children of living veterans who are rated 90% or above disabled, including 100% individual unemployability, by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs "Schedule for Rating Disabilities", as a result of a disability or disabilities incurred in service in the Armed Forces of the United States.
The law further requires that the deceased veteran must have been a resident of the State of Louisiana for at least twelve months immediately preceding entry into service. The living veteran must have resided in the state not less than twenty-four months immediately preceding the child's admission into the Program.
The surviving spouse must use this Program within ten years of the date eligibility is established. A child must be between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five.

In Louisiana, the non-custodial parent generally pays child support in a joint custody situation. Joint custody is not "shared custody." The latter is 50/50, but when a lot of people hear "joint", they assume it is shared.

No, she's not. I doubt she's even dating anyone. I wish she would, especially if it would occupy some of the time she devotes to hating me. I've literally never had an enemy in my life until she started this campaign against me. I'm one of the most congenial people alive, despite the username.

My ex and I split custody. She had them Mon-Thurs, and I had them every Fri-Sun for almost 2 years. Since she technically had them for 4 nights to my 3 (even though they spent more time with me) and I made more money, I got arse raped for $800 a month in CS. A few years went by, and I knew that she had 2 raises at work. I and the boys had been begging her to go to a true 50/50, 7 on 7 off. She didn't want to give up having every weekend free though, and also didn't want me to able to have any weekends free to have the possibility of going out and meeting someone new. Anyway, she finally agreed to it. We went to mediation and got the custody and CS changed. To her surprise when they calculated the 50/50 and her 2 raises at work, I don't have to pay her any CS anymore. She was pissed
can i upvote this 43 times?

man, i had a very similar situation. had never gone through this before of course, so once an amount was agreed upon, and the court approved it, I just started sending her checks.
about a year or so into it, one of our normal fights break out, and she tells he county in cali that i haven't been paying child support. they run their numbers and it comes back that i owed $4700. i was like hell no, i paid that crap to her.
i had moved back to louisiana from cali and tried getting copies of checks from an account that had been closed. i was able to get some info from the bank, and provided that to the county. they did reduce my total to about $4200......when i came into some money, it was all given straight to her. so technically, she got paid twice!!!
and now, my son lives with me, and when he goes there, she has the nerve to ask for money for things like groceries because he's older and has an appetite. Trick Please!

Any man who pays child support should be legally well within his right to see all receipts for the month and challenge if necessary.
