couple questions
Thanks again to everyone that responded, and I've returned with a couple more questions. After this debacle has unfolded I've spent quite a bit of time on the phone with the AG's office in the county where my ex wife lives. Luckily I've managed to get some answers. My ex wife admitted to requesting a "transfer" on the case but didn't give a reason. She did say she did this quite sine time ago, however and didn't request income withholding, but I've since learned this is standard practice in Texas so it is what it is. I have no issue with that. My ex on the other hand is now frustrated with the amount of time she has waited for the state to send her the payment, but that should settle new that the garnishment had begun and she'll receive payments more regularly. I had been advised to pay the state rather than her until garnishment started and because they didn't have direct deposit info for her they sent a check and from my payment to her receipt took almost 2 weeks. When this happened she finally returned my calls and we discussed the whole mess. Anyway on to my questions.
I requested a support review with the form the AG provided because it's been over 5 years since the original order. When I asked about the status the ag office told me my request was denied because I didn't meet the threshold for a change. I was never asked for financial information, so I'm not sure how they came to this conclusion. Also I was made aware that Texas only accepted the order for enforcement, so would Colorado's formula be applied? I asked why I wasn't notified abd gee said he would send me something. Regardless of which state's formula, wouldn't the order being older than 3 years justify a review? Is this a decision I can appeal?
Finally which state do I go to to request modifications of the custody order? In particular travel expenses and tax exemption. Thanks!
