A: You need to consult with an attorney as a modification of the plan verses and appeal of the plan may be more appropriate. In order to ascertain the appropriate course of action additional information would be required. I highly recommend you consult with legal counsel.

A: I agree. You need to consult an attorney as soon as possible. If he is not properly caring for the children and making them go to school and you are aware of it and do nothing, then the court can hold that against you. Best of luck!
