This is going to be a little lengthy so bear with me.
My husband has been paying child support for his 10 yr old boy in NY since 1994. We have now relocated to GA and we have 3 children together (9,6 &3) and 1 on the way. His original court order was to pay $61 dollars per week. Which mind you, he was the one who took the initiative and go file the paperwork to say he was the father of the child.
In Nov 2003 they increased his child support to $450 per week ($300 for support & $150 for arrears) for 1 child which was approx %80 give or take of his check. By the time he got his earnings for the week after taxes and child support his check was less than $100. We then filed a petition to have the child support modified and also to find out how on earth the court could just make a judgement in a case without us being served any court papers to state our case in court. Since we live in GA and the case is in NY we requested to have an electronic testimony. Back in April 2004 the case was heard Via electronic testimony.
Besides the judge being a straight B***, total rude and treating my husband like a dead beat dad which he is not she told him that he needed to appear before the court in June 2004 to state his case because he had difficulty hearing her over the speaker phone. He asked her how is she able to increase a child supoport order to so much and she told him that she could raise it as much as she felt like since he didn't show up for court (He was never served any papers stating that he had a court date). He also told her that he had other children to care for and she said that unless I have a court order stating that he was paying child support for them she wouldn't even consider them. He then asked if she could at least put the child support order on hold until he was able to scramble enough money to take a trip up there and she said no that is not her problem and then hung up the phone on him. I need to know the following..
We originally told the court that we were not together because I did not want then to consider my income in factoring how much money they would take from him. Can they even factor in my income?? Where can I find info on this?
When is a judge obligated to consider other children that a NCP has?? Where can I find info.
We were never served papers. What are the laws regarding how a person is to be served
The court system seems to be really screwed up in NY and always in favor of the mother or CP.
