Does anyone know about procedure in WA state? My ex lives there and filed a petition for child support modification. I live in Virginia, so I was served out of state. It states I have 60 days to respond if I live out of state, however his attorney set a court date only 16 days after I received his petition and summons**************(imagine that). what can I file to object to him not giving me the allowed amount if time?

I wouldn't worry about the hearing as long as you mail your objection (if that's what you are doing) to the modification of support.

Hope this helps!

That is perfectly crappy advice. One should NEVER ignore a court hearing... EVER and the fact that you posted that is clear that you should not be posting or giving advice anywhere on this forum.

And what exactly is your point? Is it that YOU feel that it is OK to provide WRONG information because there is a disclaimer? That is the most ridiculous thing ever. If you DONT KNOW, BE FREAKIN QUIET-- there are people on this board that DO KNOW!

On another post (reported) s/he claimed to be in the "legal profession". Yet can't seem to find the answer to her legal question with a partner at her firm...

Do you think that WVA believes working in housekeeping at a law firm qualifies as a legal profession???

I find it ridiculous that you can't spell ridiculous.

Maybe she's sleeping with an attorney.....

 

[CourtClerk]

I never said i worked at a law firm silly girl I said in the legal profession.

So other than take out the trash, make coffee or answer the phones, what (not who) EXACTLY do you do in the legal profession?

 

[jbowman]

I do not reply nor post things that I do not know about.

Obviously you do. You advised someone in another thread to change the venue to another state. DUMB, incorrect answer. You advised this poster not to worry about a court hearing. DUMB, incorrect answer. This poster asked WHAT to file to object and you said

mail your objection

Another DUMB, incorrect answer.

Here's what else it says:

You agree that you will NOT use the FreeAdvice Forum to post any knowingly false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, or threatening message and/or user name, or to post any advertisement, chain letter, solicitation or other commercial message, or to post material that is illegally invasive of another person's privacy.

See that word inaccurate? That's ALL of your posts... except the one where you are asking for advice yourself. If you're asking for help, you probably shouldn't be attempting help. No one needs more of the blind leading the blind.

Or maybe I should sue you for defamation of character. Hmm....

Is it possible to defame an anonymous internet poseur?

Go for it... I'll be waiting for that summons

 

[CourtClerk]

Why are you so defensive that somebody might know more than you do or has a different opinion than you do? Just because you are a pencil pusher at the clerk's desk means nothing to me as far as your so-called expertise in the law.

Nope, not a pencil pusher at the clerk's desk. I passed that stage about $20k/yr. ago...

 

[CourtClerk]

I'm sure she'll figure out how... she's in the 'legal profession' you know. Kind of the same way that strippers are in the 'entertainment' profession.

 

[Perky]

You tell me. You're the expert

Quite the contrary; however, I do a little research before I post unless I know the answer already. You ought to try it sometime.

I'm still curious about your 'legal' profession too.

 

[CourtClerk]

My bad. Judicial Assistant. Wow! They give you $20k a year more to be a judge's pencil pusher? That's amazing! How do I sign up???

You have to first know how to spell and have a decent command of the English language. You don't qualify, sorry. Stay in that 'legal profession' and let the rest of us do the real work.
