What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
Question 1:
I just recently went to court on a child support hearing where I am being held accountable for being behind on child support. The DOR in MA fails to ever look at actual income when processing someone on being behind and I'm wondering if this is a failure of due process. They go before the judge and report that I'm unemployed, then ask the judge to penalize me and asses interest and penalties on income never earned that they are fully aware of.
question 2:
Recently I had filled a modification to my support order because I was unemployed again and had two of the three children removed being over 23 yrs old. The judge modified my payment and took into consideration that I have been over assessed child support wise by roughly $62,000 dollars more than my income would require that I pay. He set another date for review of more evidence. Then I had another date in court to deal with being behind again. The DOR stated that my recent visit to court ended in a modification and that the information was "Missing from the file". They then went on to ask the judge for a ruling on the matter at hand being behind in child support. The Judge disregarded the fact that there was a previous Judge ruling and ruled that I needed to make a payment by friday and he set my support payment back to the dollar amount prior to the modification past by another judge. How should I proceed to correct this error on the judges part and this misleading of the judge by the DOR?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
