What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I filed a motion to contest child support arrears because my ex lied to DCF (Dept children and families) about when our child went back to live with her. (our child lived with me for a year and I got the child support payments to her stopped for obvious reason). Because of her lie I was getting charged with arrears that should hav never happened. so under the advice of dept of revenue, I filed the motion to contest arrears. The hearing was originally set for this month (I filed the motion in March) however the date was changed to the beginning of next month. My girlfriend..who is a witness for me as she lives with me and can verify when my child went back with their mother.. was on the clerks of court website yesterday looking up the date of the new hearing so she would make sure her day was clear that day, discovered that an order was signed by the Judge denying my motion. The original hearing was set for sept 12th and the Judge signed the order on the 20th.
Can the judge do that esp since the hearing was moved? Apparently the dept of revenue had the date changed for the hearing to October. Both myself and my ex got the letter with the new date on it and I doubled checked the paperwork and it said it was for the hearing for my motion. Do i need to contact the courts or the dept of revenue about this?
And for the record I am not against paying child support for my child but not when my child was living with me. She was still getting child support payments from me for the first 6 months my kid was with me and never offered it to me to help with our child!
thanks everyone!
