Parental Time

You blew whatever leverage you had by talking to her instead of an attorney. By the time you're in front of a judge with all of the continuances she will file, it'll be 6-12 months of her with 50/50 parenting time.

Here’s my 2 cents. You may not want to hear this but you let it go on for 2 years. Why bring it up now? I understand you wanting her to honor her time but you should’ve asked her 2 years ago.

You let it go on for 2 years and now she doesn’t want the support to change. You’ll be asked “why are you bringing it up now and not when it started?”

That’s my opinion, I understand your stance, you should definitely pay less child support but you essentially gave her a warning. Document things now and if it continues, then bring it up.

I wish you luck in this

I’m not sure if I’m understanding. So, your ex has them only mon/tue and every other Friday? You have them on all Saturdays and Sundays? She doesn’t want to change the schedule but wants to continue getting support for the higher days?

I don’t see an issue with her having them the days you agreed to. Remember, there may come a time when you’ll need her to be a little accepting.

Honestly, if you accepted that plan in the beginning and she’s wants to honor it now, I would go with keeping it as is. Maintain your documentation, document the recent exchange , indicate that she committed to adhering to it, THEN, if she fails to meet her commitment repeatedly, you move for amendment. You’ll have a clear pattern combined with evidence that you brought it to her attention and her words were not enough to honor the agreement. Pattern+attempted resolution+ return to pattern= you asking the court for help. You’ll come across as responsible and someone who respects the judge as a last resort.

Shouldn’t have told ex. Should have filed in court and only have her reaction to court filing
