Andddd he might get off.

So, finally getting ahold of this social security mess. Once again they dropped the ball and I'm waiting for mail. Anyway, in the next couple weeks I should get my first payment, $600/month. Yay for financial help FINALLY but sucky that he might get off with nothing. SS counts towards his monthly CS obligation. Here in VA, it's a straight calculation so it will be about $500 if they consider my income last year with his or $1000 if they don't take my income. I've mentioned before his atty is fighting for both incomes to be considered. SOOOOOOOOOOOO if the judge ends up considering both, MC will get off scott free and not have to pay a dime...until I put DD in daycare...when cs goes up astronomically. I'm really not willing to put her in daycare and work a 9-5 traditional job just to make him pay, but I'd be lying if I said it hasn't crossed my mind. On the flip side, I'm guessing he was aware of how much the payment would be from SS and that's why he's decided to be a deadbeat...knowing he'd get off. I just want 100% assurance he will leave us the f**k alone. I'd give anything to have that. I really wish signing away rights was a thing. It breaks my heart to see little girls with their grandparents at the mall and such, knowing that really wont be E's life unless I bite the bullet, take a risk, and move back to FL. Ugh!
