Re: child support

He cannot unilaterally lower your support. Nor can he apportion all of his insurance payment to your daughter.At best it should be only a percentage of the payment. You are entitled to support and a portion of child care expenses as apportioned by the court. You should seek a ruling giving you your complete amount due you and then you can forgive or credit him as you see fit.
