My ex offered me a substancial lower amount in child support and a bigger cut of the house (for him) or else he would take me court for shared custody so that he wouldn't have to pay any support. He has never been a full time dad, never takes them or calls them consistantly. I have always been the one to do everything for my girls and I think the kids would suffer from being in his care for a week or months at a time. He doesn't do homework or attend meetings, do doctors appointments. He works long hours and mentioned getting a nanny to care for them.. All to avoid child support.
