re: Paying child support with joint custody

One piece of advice I would give is when it comes to joint custody and child support is document everything. Keep receipts no matter how small of an item purchased and have physical proof of every cent paid to the mother.
This from experience dealing with my ex. For a while we were getting along great and like an idiot I gave her cash for a period of time. Well shite went downhill and we ended up in court again so she claimed I didn't pay her for those months I gave her cash even though I provided bank statements showing withdraws of the exact amount. I was on the hook for it.
Eventually, and too long of a story to get into but, I was able to prove her unfit to care for our son. Kept good records and only paid by check, also got a pretty good attorney. She kind of helped my case too by leaving our son home by himself at 9 years old with his 5 year old half sister while she was at work all damn day. I now have full custody.

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!
