What is the name of your state? Maryland - non custodial parent - VA
1 - Child's father and I worked out a child support agreement slightly (200 per month) below the MD guidelines. Combined income for both parents is 16,000 per month. As he was doing extras, and helping his older children with college, I didn't see the point in fighting for an extra 50 per week. Before we got to that point (1/25/07 after many months of negotiating) I filed a petition for child support in MD Court(1/05/07). After we reached our agreement, I abandoned the petition.
2- MD Court sends notice to each of us (6/07) stating if no action is taken, case will be closed. He is furious and immediately reduces support payments by 400 per month.
3- I filed a new petition in MD (7/12), he was served 8/12 and has 60 days to respond. He will probably wait until that time. Going through support enforcement and URISA, this could take close to a year to get resolved, but expenses continue for child. Now, he's doing nothing.
4. Contacted VA courts to find out if I can file directly in VA myself, (support enforcement agencies are not doing much that I cannot do on my own) in the interest of getting this resolved quickly. Northern VA court says it can be done, Southern VA court worker says no. He is legally a resident of VA, but works in MD. I am willing to take the 2 hour ride to VA for all court appearances. I and the child reside in MD.
