Had a 4 way meeting the other day (me, cl stbx and our lawyers). Didn't turn out too well, stbx's lawyer is trying to get full ss (cuz she has fibromyalgia) and full cs (biological father of her daughter is on disability, is registered with FRO) and still isn't paying cs).
The meeting ended with the stbx's lawyer getting quite angry because my lawyer states I shouldn't have to pay the full amount of cs because the bio dad is on the record (FRO) of owing the stbx cs still.
Her lawyer states the bio dad is a deadbeat and there's no way they can get $$ from him so I should pay the full cs.
For ss, her lawyer states I should pay a higher amount because of the stbx's diagnosis of fibromyalgia. (Oh..and indefinetly..the 2 of us were cl for 11 years)
Basically the meeting didn't go well at all both the stbx and he lawyer stormed out of the meeting yelling about interim support and 10 grand in arrears!!
Long story short, my lawyer suggests I offer 1500/mth (cs and ss) until it comes to an agreement in court.
I have a problem with this, I've stated this to my lawyer..1500/mth is going to be quite tough financially (with rent, car payments, insurance, etc)
The ex lives in her fathers rent free abandoned farm house (which I renovated over the past 11 years)
Should I agree with the 1500/mth until we come to an agreement?? My lawyer states it'll take away from any arrears they claim I should pay. I'm battling hard for a reduced cs AND any ss ( she has a fulltime job and had the job since day 1 when I 1st moved into her house)
It's a messed up story..I apologize if I've left out any crucial details..minds racing!!
Any advice would be appreciated
