To recoup your missed earnings from ex will depend entirely on your relationship with him. If you guys are cooperative parents than yes your ex should be able to compensate you for your off days or at least 50% of the off days as you are both parents. If you guys don't have a good working relationship then you need to go based on the court order if it states that parents should compensate for missed work days. If it is not present you might want to get it added for the next time. If there is anything my office can assist you with than don't hesitate to contact us.
