Guest guest Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hi Sandi - Congrats on the new hubby and larger family!! I'm sorry to hear you are going through your third bout of cancer. I don't have any ideas about the extra costs, other than if you are needed to be home and can't work. We only have 2 more years of being in school and one of us will have to stay home. It looks like it will be Tim, but it would be nice if i could be home. Oh well... Keep in touch and let us know how YOU are doing. Our other Sandy (O'Hara a/k/a Gwhiz or Kalismom) is now getting hospice care. I miss her being here!

Well now my lawyer wants an additional ten thousand to continue fighting and " proof from experts " that it costs more to care for my boys than it would for typical boys. Soooo.... I'm asking the experts for your input. Any and all input to reinstate or at least increase from the minimum required by law child support.
