See, the thing is we were never married. However, about a month ago we broke up. She became weary of bickering and didn't want our son to grow up in that environment, even though to me things felt like they were getting better. Apparently not, right?
Well, ever since things ended, she's just been such a bitter woman. I've only seen my son once, 6 days before his birthday, and for the last few days she's done nothing but ignore my texts asking how he's been doing. We're being civil, you see. Her actually managed to make my mother feel uncomfortable at his birthday party yesterday, but that's a different topic altogether...
Now I've finally received the packet that states they want nearly $300 a month in CS, which yeah I assume and have been told that that isn't so bad. The thing is, yeah I'm working full time at $10/hr at the moment, but once you calculate fuel expenses and other bills that must be paid, and then tossing into the mix that the rest of my check goes to mostly foodstuffs because my room mates and I don't technically share our food all the time, well... That leaves me in the red by nearly $100. I'm going to make the attempt to try and get this set up at a more reasonable (financially) amount, but I'm unsure how successful that will be...
The last thing I want to be is my father. $25/month child support that was paid once.
When I was 17.
Any advice? Things I should bring up during the hearing?
