Unless you have some expertise in law, you will probably need to start
with a lawyer. You will have to file a "change of custody" motion
with the court. The mother, if she is willing, can file a
"stipulation" agreeing to the change. Then the court order granting
the change wil be 99.99% automatic. Until you do that, the custody of
the daughter is still legally with the mother. At age 15, the courts
will probably give considerable weight to the daughter's wishes. Also
the longer the daughter has lived with you the better. Make sure the
daughter is willing to follow through before sinking any big bucks in
legal fees.
Why is the mother filing for increase in "child support" if the
daughter is living with you?

| And if you are living in Mass..... and your paying alimoney/maintence,
you might get a child support payment reduced, but watch out for
getting the alimoney increased.
I will also second Freds statement about getting a lawyer. I would also
talk to mother about the two ways we can solve our differnces.
Nicey-nicey....or nasty-nasty. And if she wants to do it nice, settle
out of court and get what is fair. And if she wants it nasty. Tell her
if she understand the terms and conditions of bankruptcy. Cause
sometimes fighting over such crappie can bring it about fast. Cau$e
lawyer$ co$t$ money.

| 325.3 | Filed when daughter was at home | QUOKKA::29881::LEBLANC | | Fri Sep 09 1994 08:48 | 4 |
| She filed last may when my daughter still lived at home. She move in
with me last July and has no intention of leaving. I was hoping that
when we go to court for the child support modification that the judge
with take into consideration that my daughter now lives with me.

| Go down to the court house, and ask for some paperwork for change of
custody and see what happens. Sometimes, in Mass, they seem to have a
fill in the blanks for all kinds of stuff and see what they say.
Besides getting a lawyer.

| 325.5 | Medical insurance | QUOKKA::29881::LEBLANC | | Fri Sep 09 1994 09:07 | 3 |
| Another question is:
I pay the medical and dental insurance for the kids. Also my x
is on the medical plan. Does this count towards child support?

| It can be a card to trade with.:) If it is written in the orginal
decree. If she is remarried, you have a real trade-able.;) If she is
living with some man, or remarried, she is a big girl, and you should
not be paying a farthing for it.

| 325.7 | insurance and child support | QUOKKA::29067::HADDOCK | Saddle Rozinante | Fri Sep 09 1994 11:14 | 11 |
| re .5
In many states, the cost of insurance and who is paying it is figured
into the child support. It is usually not a direct deductable, but
the cost is taken into account when setting child support. Again
you will have to check with the local laws and formulas for setting
child support. You can probably go look those up in a public or
university (usually open to public) library if you don't want to
pay a lawyer to "research" it and explain it to you.
