Ex wife and I share custody (45% of time with me, 55% with her). She is asking for child support, I am self employed and according to docs she makes more money than I do. Since she filed on me - can I in turn ask her for child support? Her atty requested an emergency hearing for child support due to the fact that her rent was behind $1250 (which is exactly the amount they asked for). Judge denied the claim and set a trial date.
