My ex-wife is not adhering to the agreements made regarding payment for childcare

Questioner

Dear, I have been divorced for a few years now. However, the parenting plan was only finalized last year. My ex wanted to receive much more alimony than she was actually entitled to. Finally we reached an agreement and the parenting plan was finally signed. I have joint custody of 1 of my children (my daughter 8). My son (12 years old) I only see in the weekend every other week. I also pay my ex-wife child support for both children. In the email exchange between my lawyer and my ex's lawyer, it was agreed that I would pay alimony, but that my ex would pay the costs of childcare. Otherwise, I would not agree to sign the parenting plan. My ex agreed to this at the time. However, things are different now. My ex no longer pays for childcare and I now have a situation with the care of my daughter and my work. I work 40 hours a week. What can I do to ensure that my ex keeps to the agreement? Is it possible to request a change of my daughter's primary residence? The communication and contact between me and my ex is very poor. Unfortunately, the children are the victims of this. What are my options?

Lawyer

You will continue to need each other to come to an adjustment of the agreements. If direct consultation does not work, you can propose a mediator. Through a lawyer you can indeed request a change of primary residence (via the judge).
