We alternate years for claiming SS7. This year BM went ahead and claimed him on her taxes even though it wasn't her turn. It sucked because she screwed us out of $2400. We know that we could hold her in contempt of the stipulation, and that we could get her to amend her taxes, etc, but she agreed to let us claim him for two years in a row.

However, I we have been burned by her verbal agreements before so we want to get this in writing and get it signed by a notary. How would I word such a thing? Does this sound fine?

We had some issues with daycare, so BM decided that until the end of the school year, she would pick up the skids (10 and 7) from school and then let them hang out at her apartment alone until she got home from work or we picked them up on our days. DH agreed with this arrangement, as long as it was temporary. I do not agree with this. I do think SD10 is responsible enough on her own for a little while, since she does have a phone, too. But I do not think she should be in charge of anyone else.

Our stipulation states that we take turns every other year claiming SS on our taxes. This was our year. We filed this week and got a call the next morning that SS was already claimed. DH told BM that she was wrong and she said "Oops, my bad. You can just claim him the next two years in a row."

My DH and I had our only child together 3 years ago now. We have EOW schedule with skids (6 & 9). I feel like every 6 months or so I well up with anger at my husband because he doesn't do anything for BS3 or spend ANY time with him. He works a lot so I totally understand that when he gets home he wants to relax. But if we go to the park, dad plays with skids, not BS (unless they're all playing the same thing of course). At home, DH won't do anything to help BS out like pick out clothes or help with shoes, get a glass of water when he asks...unless I ASK him to do it.
