"You have never asked me..."
Husband is continuing to email receipts to The Ex, as the court order states he is supposed to do. The Ex has been making payments toward variable expenses, at least so far. I'm positive she doesn't want to be found in contempt again for the same exact thing and be required to pay $100 more to Husband for attorney fees just because she doesn't want to support her kids.
So far this month, Husband has sent four emails to The Ex; court order requires acknowledgment of communication within 24 hours and answering questions within 48 hours. Email #1 was sent with a receipt, also letting The Ex know that we mailed her a paper copy of Son's football schedule(Just covering ourselves so if she tries to claim later that we didn't give her one, it's in writing that one was sent.), and asking if she had health insurance for the kids or how soon she would be getting it. (The Ex ignored this email. I called child support and they're supposed to be sending a letter to her employer requiring her to enroll in health insurance if she can get it at a reasonable cost.)
Two days later, around the time that The Ex should have sent a reply to the first email, Husband sent Email #2 and said Daughter wanted to sign up for a group that she's been a part of for the past five years; he also said she wanted to go to a weekend camp. Husband included the cost for both of these activities.
The next day, Husband sent Email #3 with a receipt for school supplies, saying Daughter had been invited to a sleepover and would like to stay here on The Ex's weekend, asking if The Ex would like school pictures for Son with a copy of the order form, and asking how The Ex would like to work out placement exchange for the following Friday because Son needed a signed note from a parent saying he would not be riding the bus back with the tea,.
The reply to Email #2 came 89 hours after Husband clicked "send":
"Hi [Husband],
I know [Daughter] wants to join [Group] and I'm ok with her joining. Thanks for asking.
[The Ex]" (Well, it doesn't really matter if you're not okay with her joining. You didn't respond in 48 hours and according to the court order, that means you already agreed to the activity. Same goes for Daughter attending camp, which you didn't even acknowledge in your response.)
The reply to Email #3 came 64 hours after it was sent(64, 48 - they're pretty much the exact same number....right?):
"Hi [Husband],
Yes [Daughter] can stay with you and go to her sleepover. Tell her I hope she has fun!(You can't call her and tell her this yourself?)
Yes I'm interested in pictures. For [Son], I'll take #D(I almost peed my pants laughing at this. "#D"?? Is that like "letter 9"?) for $14 add *A4 for $5 please have it say "[Son's first and middle name]"(There is no "*A4" - there is "A4" with an asterisk, indicating there is a footnote for that particular order number. The asterisk is not part of the number. Also, you can use periods and commas to form coherent sentences. You don't need to type everything out like this it gets confusing nobody knows where you're starting or stopping your sentences.)
Yes I'm interested in pictures for [Daughter] too.(Yes I cannot start a sentence any other way than with the word "yes") When you get an order form would you please send it like you did this time for [Son]?(Like we did "this time"? We send you a form every year; this is the first year you've ordered pictures.) I would like something similar.
When I see you this weekend at [Sons] game I will pay you the $19 for pictures and some more that I owe you. (We saw her at the game. No checks. She sent them with Son two days later and one is post-dated.) Let me know if that will be ok.
I would also like to get magnets made for [Sons] football. You have never asked me for pictures on sports("Pictures on sports"? I feel like this isn't even English. Like maybe she typed something into Google Translate using another language and this is what she came up with.) and I would like to order 2 sets of magnets. (This is my favorite part of the email, even more than "#D." I literally have no idea where she came up with the idea that you can get magnets, but she wants some and it's all Husband's fault because he never asked her "for pictures on sports.") They usually come in sets of 2. (Where is she getting this from?) So 4 magnets total. Let me know please. (I am so utterly confused right now. What is Husband supposed to let her know?)
Also, [Son] has a game in [Away Game City]. (You are correct; that is exactly what Husband stated to you 64 hours ago.) Is it the [Away Game City] that is 25 minutes from me? (I can't imagine they have two cities with the same exact name in the same exact state. Then again, I can't imagine you're as stupid as you are either, so there's always room for surprises.) If it isn't, I need the address to where it is please. Just send me the address anyways please. (All of that could have easily been consolidated into, "Please send me the address for Son's game this Friday.")
Yes write the letter to the coach telling him [Son] will not be riding the bus home. If you don't want to please send me his email and phone number information and I'll do it. (You'll write a letter to "phone number information"?) I didn't get any information on that either. (Nor did you ask for it until now, a full 2 months after Son started playing football)
Thanks for helping and understanding. (Understanding what? What is she even talking about??) Please let me know on all of this. (Let her know what?! My head hurts...)
Thank You,
[The Ex]
Thank You,
[The Ex]" (Not a typo on my part. She literally signed her name twice.)
Husband emailed back and thanked her for letting him know about Daughter's sleepover; said he'd order school pictures for Son like she asked; said he'd send the form for Daughter's school pictures when he had it; said it was okay to pay him on Friday for Son's school pictures; told her that he never asked her "for pictures on sports" because we were never asked, Son's pictures had just been taken 6 days before she sent this email and if we got a form, we would send her one; he also sent the address for Friday's game along with the coach's name and number, and said he would give him a note saying Son would ride home with The Ex after the game.
Later that day, I sent a message to the woman in charge of the booster club and asked if they sold anything other than apparel, explaining that The Ex had sent an email indicating she wanted to buy magnets but I didn't remember seeing a form for anything like that. The woman replied no, they sold apparel and had handed out 2 pins to each of the players' parents the Friday before but didn't have anything other than that. (The day they handed out pins, The Ex called Son and told him she was coming to the game. Literally 10 minutes later, The Ex called Daughter and said she was not coming to the game. Maybe it's a douche move, but I'm not giving her my pin. I was there watching Son and supporting him; you told him you were coming and didn't bother to let him know that you changed your mind for no reason.)
