Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

My divorce lawyer advised me to get doubles of my children's medications because there are times when my ex-wife does not send the proper amounts with the kids when they come to visit.

I pay these costs out-of-pocket because my insurance won't cover it. How can I get reimbursed for these expenses? Can I contact my children's insurance company or must my ex-wife do that since she's the policyholder?

I'm trying to do what's best for our children's health, but it is increasingly difficult to cover these costs out-of-pocket.

Question:

I pay child support and even though my income has increased since the order was entered, so have my living expenses.

My ex-wife, who is working and earning less and less, wants to raise my child support because she says the court doesn't care about my expenses only that my income has increased.

Is this correct? Do I really owe her more child support every time I earn a raise while her income keeps dropping?

Question:

My child support order requires me to cover medical expenses and costs related to my child's hockey team in addition to normal child support.

My ex-wife just sent me receipts looking for reimbursement for things like prom tickets, school testing fees, yearbook picture expenses, etc.

Since those extra expenses are not mentioned in my child support do I have to pay them? Isn't that what child support is supposed to cover?

Question:

Since my wife and I separated I have been paying her household expenses, such as rent and bills, as a form of child support and alimony.

I met with a divorce attorney and he told me that I do not have to be paying for any of that since I haven't been ordered to by the court. I pay that money since my kids are with her half the time and I want them to live in a comfortable place.

Should I continue paying for her household expenses while the divorce is pending, and can I deduct any of these payments for tax purposes?

Question:

My ex-wife is requesting I pay for half of the damages that resulted from my child's car accident.

Even though I pay her child support, she stated the cost of the vehicle repair is above normal living expenses that are included in child support.

From my perspective, transportation of a child is a normal living cost.

Who is right? Do I have to pay for one-half of the damage on top of my child support payments?
