so far, so sucky

XH is convinced that my concern about his internet pornography addiction is still misplaced and so, despite not having a place to have them live, he’d like to have joint physical custody.

Should we get to a point where I have to agree to shared physical custody, it is unlikely that I will get any child support. In fact, because I make about 4000 more than he does, annually, I could actually end up paying him child support.

XH is also under the impression that there exists a promissory note we signed to his father in 1986 when his father essentially gave us his share in the equity of the grandmother’s house for our down payment. If this was actually a promissory note, wouldn’t it have been due when we sold that house in 1999? Under what scheme of things does a promissory note become due only when I divorce your son?

Should it turn out that I actually did sign a promissory note that needs to be paid back and for whatever reason was not paid back in 1999 when we sold that house and bought this house, we would owe him $11,000. $5500 my share, $5500 XH’s share…not just me by the way. Either way, what with the $30k line of credit to consolidate credit cards last fall, it pretty much means there’s no equity in the house…Assuming that my assessor’s estimate of $230k is more realistic in this market than the tax assessed value he’s using ($263k)

If we have to sell this house now and split the proceeds, that’s fine by me, but I am not putting one red cent into fixing anything that’s 1/2 done or ‘deferred maintenance.’

worst case scenario: I have to sell the house because I can’t afford to make the payments because the kids are living with him 1/2 the time and I have to pay him child support for the privaledge.

I suppose there’s a somebody out there that thinks this is just a dandy scenario because the woman is getting it and the man is ‘winning.’ Tell you what. If anybody is ‘winning’ the kids are losing and for you to say anything differently means you don’t have a flipping clue about what is really going on here.
