She can petition, yes.

Your post is a little unclear - would you summarize it like this?

1. You want 50/50.
2. She wants more CS and half the cost of daycare.
3. There are no real changes of circumstance that would make a raise in CS more likely than not.

What are her reasons for asking for more CS?

If she now has daycare expenses, that would make it a change in circumstance

Crap, yes you're right. Sorry bout that. That said OP hasn't indicated whether daycare is a new thing or whether it's always been that way.

Whether its a new thing or not, she has the right to be reimbursed 50% of the daycare expenses.

Because this is my wife's user name and she was told to have me post my own question , so that's what I was trying to do

It would be best if you created your own username. The way it is now, your situation and your wife's get mingled, and it makes it difficult to weed out which info is whose.

Thanks.

And I told you on another post three days ago to get your own USER ID. You said you would. You haven't. HENCE you lied. We don't help liars.

He was told that by me. He said he would. He didn't. He lied.

I was told...

When I got divorced and CS was calculated, I was told that it was all emcompassing for children's expenses including daycare. My children didn't need to go to daycare because of the arrangements my ex and I were able to come up with, thankfully, up until this point anyway.

My question is how is he only paying $180/mo in CS? That doesn't cover SQUAT! That is supposed to be 20% of his income? Let's see, he makes $900/mo...oh come on! My 19 yr old son makes more than that part time at walmart and goes to college full-time as well.

None of which has anything to do with OP's post.

mammabear - seriously. Stop. None of what you've written in this or your other response is even remotely helpful and just muddies the water. Are you in OP's state? If not, do you know how CS works in OP's state? Do you even know that it varies from state to state? Do you know that, in some states, CS does not include daycare? Seriously - you need to sit down, read, and keep it zipped.

As for the amount he pays? OP didn't mention if it was $180 per week, two weeks, or monthly. So your derision is misplaced.

Thanks for the response everyone. I just thought it would be okay to use my wife's userID. But to answer some of the questions, I pay 180 a month in child support and is required to have health insurance but I'm providing health insurance because the mother provide that for our child.

I just wanted to know when we go to court can she request half of daycare if it's not in the court order? and can she request a modification in child support.
