Guess BM is going to have to pay when SO wants to see his daugher.
BM decided that she wanted to have a daycare that was closer to her new place, less then 1 mile from her old place. She decided that she didn't want to back-track less then a mile to continue to take her to her current daycare. She didn't tell SO that she was doing it and didn't bother to make sure this daycare would work with the existing court order.
Basiclly the daycare is a full time only daycare and charges the amount wether the child is there or not (most do) She is also on Daycare assistance which is based on how many hours BM works and how much she gets per hour vs child support and her ability to pay. This daycare provider is only paid for the hours in which the child is there by the state and there for the parent is responsible for the remaining amount. OK I get that.
However, BM chose a daycare that would require her to be there for average of 40+ hours a week. At her previous daycare she was only there for 20-25 hours average (not sure why she didn't realise this in the first place)
SO has swiched his scheduel around to be with his daugher on his days, he either does not work or works half a day on his days, Wednesday and Thrusday and EOW. BM knows this and was mad because he gets to spend more time with her then she does. Not his fault. He is willing to get up at 4 AM and your still out partying.
BM is going to have to pay for the hours in which are not used up when SO picks her up when he gets off or choses to keep her home with him. It's only daycare at this new place so she is not missing anything really. The old daycare was set up more like a pre-school type and she learned so much from there.
We sent the concerns to the attorney and another e-mail to BM stating that she was the one who chose the daycare knowing that SD3 does not regularlly go to daycare on SO's days and she knew that and she still decided to sign up with them. There is no court order stating that he has to pay her anything for daycare because she gets CS and that more then covers half of daycare. She also would not have to go to daycare if she would only work with him and I because in the past she has taken her out of daycare or gotten kicked out of them or off the program and we had no daycare for months and only once did she have to go to a day daycare because our work allows us to make our own hours.
I find it kinda funny that in the reality of it all, She is paying for HIM to see his daugher. Not sure she is going to like doing that all the time. Going to cut into her Diva fund.
