Since your daughter spends more then 50% of the time with the mother then she can get child support for her. I'd say she probably took on the insurance so she can show that she is paying out more money then you are. Who keeps your daughter when you work during the summer time she spends with you. If it is your girlfriend or mother is helping in the summer time then there would be no reason that a judge would rule against you doing the same on your weekends. It sounds like you need to go to mediation and get the wording changed so other family members can also spend time with your daughter when you can't. It is only fair that the child builds a close relationship with your girlfriend of 3 years or your mother.

NH Dad with joint custody wondering if Mom has chance of getting physical custody/support?
Joint custody with 9yr old daughters mom. Lives with her mom sun night through friday (due to school, Mom moved 40 min away in Ma, better school than NH). I get 3 wknds a month (fri till sun 5pm), and wednesday nights for a few hours. Her mother gets 1 wknd sat at noon till sunday, or mon while she's in school. Summer we split the wks to keep as close to 50/50 as poss. Currently no child support. Up until recently I covered her insurance. I allowed her mother to take it over because she got a family plan once married and said it would be no additional cost to her. I took a new position at work and started working nights 6 months ago. I work a rotating schedule and so I have to work every other weekend fri, sat, and sun 6pm-6am. That leaves one weekend (since she gets one) where I am not home with her nights. I would have my mother or live in girlfriend stay with her but we have a clause that says if one parent is not going to be with her for more than 8 hrs we have to offer her to the other parent. So on that weekend shes been sleeping at her moms. I get her during the days except for a few times here and there. she reopened case sd she wants to change so I only get every other wknd due to my job. I think my daughter should be able to stay with me those night, I only miss a few hrs b4 she goes to bed and my girlfriend of 3 yrs would be home with her until im home at 6am. Will the court allow her to take that time from me and possibly award support, which she also now want

I agree about her building a relationship with my girlfriend. They get along great and her mother has no issues with her that I am aware of. I also overlooked my agreement and it does state that my girlfriend can legally watch her while I work. It states that if either parents requires child care from "someone who does not reside in his or her residence, for more than 8 hrs or overnight". So since my girlfriend recently moved in full time, according to the agreement it's ok for her to watch her while i work. Same as her mothers live in friend or husband watching my daughter suring the summer while her mother works days.
