My heart goes out to you, I have been dragged through family court for the last 3 years. Child support is partially calculated by the amount of overnights the child stays with you, that can work in your favor. Is he filing for joint custody? I live in FL and they, like a lot of other states now are favoring 50/50. I hate that idea. My ex did not get 50/50 and is determined to litigate every little thing now.
Good luck to you, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

well i would be annoyed about him eating allt he food and leaving a mess too. but he pays half the rent. where i live, thats more than what id get in child support. doesnt give him the right to leave you w the responsibility and cleaning after him and feeding him, but let me give you an example. before i got w mySO, my rent was 1369. i get 300 in child support for one kid. 300 is way less than 685, if you get my drift.
id try to suck it up until its handled in court and both of you have your own places. right now he is in transition. it wont always be this way.

Thank you. Yes, he is filing for joint on everything. Which really I have no legit argument against oyher than he's lazy. Hes a good dad other wise and she's very attached to the both of us. Since he's moved out he's only had her over night once a week up until last week whdre he didn't keep her at all. I have her the rest of the time. The time he has been spending with her is slowly starting to go down. I'm nervous to see how tjings go. I know he'll be upset if I get my way :p -

No, I understand. He is on the lease but could have screwed me completely and just stop giving me that too. I could even look pass the mess though, if he was giving me more than $70 a month towards food, especially since he's still eating it like he lives there. I had to apply for food stamps to help feed my two kids since we broke up and he moved out. I don't think its right for him to eat that food and not give me money to replace it. Like I said legally I know I camt do anything about him being there. I wouldn't mind as much if he was actually helping... -
Didn't you say that he does not have a place of his own to live yet? He is living with friends? He won't get joint custody without a permenant address.
