"... The Defendant has voluntarily chosen to decrease his income ... to spend more time during the day with Domenic ... business income is unable to support his family obligations ... The time spent on volunteer work, no matter how commendable, could be better used producing income ... The defendant needs to adjust his priorities to adequately provide for his family."
At that time I had Dom Thursday - Monday, every other weekend. He was four and the business gave me the flexibility to spend all these days with him -- I never left him with a sitter. He had a "busy" schedule with Mom and came to enjoy & cherish our quieter time together. I still averaged more than 40 hr/week, working morning and evenings when Dom was asleep and weekends when he was not with me. I made a petition (see below) to the court system to modify the support level, but it was denied. I started falling behind. |
