Modification question...

What is the name of your state -Washington

The state of Washington is modifying our child support agreement we currently have, it will be an upward modification due to a significant increase in income Dad has, among other things.

Anyways...he called me this morning to verify my mailing address. He told me he HAS to send me, along with the State of Washington a copy of his response he is submitting.

I wonder if this is correct, or if he is in fact getting ready to try and serve me with something. Last time we did a modification of child support he didn't send me anything, as he wasn't required to. If he is about to serve me with something he absolutely would not tell me ahead of time.

Does this sound right? Is the NCP required to send a copy of the child support response to the CP since it is being handled by the State of Washington?

Thanks

It would seem to me, that logically, since you are the other party, that he would indeed have to "serve" you a copy of his response. However, he could be trying to serve you something else as well. Its not uncommon for an ncp to file for custody (and judges are well aware of this) when hit with a child support increase.

You may not have received a response from him last time, because he may not have filed a response last time.

Yeah, it just seemed odd to me. Last time he did file a response, but it was to the courts only. He has made numerous threats before that he was going to try to modify custody if I requested a child support modification.

Just wasn't sure if this was the norm, since it was done differently last time. Guess I will have to just wait and see Thank you!

Hello

I just received paperwork in the mail yesterday from the child support office (States Attorney) It has the new paperwork and child support amount in it, however...the states office did not include the child care information I provided to her.

Our last modification had all of this information in it and required he pay child support AND half of monthly child care expenses.

The paperwork gave us a court date of November 30th. I went ahead and re-drafted the childcare information and faxed it to the Child support office hoping they will add it back in. I called and spoke with the secretary to make sure it was received, and it was. I told her the reason I was sending it, and she made a comment that they DID NOT have the info prior to the attorney drawing up the papers.

I made sure they had the information, because the attorney did the SAME thing on the last modification. So, I'm wondering what you guys think...Should the faxed info be enough? Or do you think I should do something different...

My ex seems to think that since it wasn't added originally it won't be added even though I am requesting it to be and he will not be required to continue paying half of the child care fees. Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful...Thanks
