Florida - I do not live in the state of Florida. The mother of my daughter does not live in Florida. Neither of us has lived in the State of Florida since our daughter's birth.
Prior to spending six weeks in Florida, attending classes for a CDL license, I was court ordered in the State of Tennessee to pay child support. My ex decided she would file for child support in the State of Florida, also.
Now I am in double jeopardy, being sued by two states.
For two years I have had child support garnished from my wages, including an additional $72.00 a month toward arrearages. However, current payments nor arrearages seem to be credited to my account in Tennessee, for which I have to appear in court at least every two months, resulting in my leaving my job to do so. If that's not bad enough, now the State of Florida is suing me for support on the same child!
Florida was court ordered to remove me from their child support list over a year ago. However, they continue to hound me. Now they are threatening to suspend my CDL license which is not even a Florida license, and happens to be my livlihood.
I am now going to sue the State of Florida and I need to know what to do to accomplish this. I am fed up and tired of being threatened by a State that has absolutely no legal jurisdiction over this case. I have contacted them many times, with no results.
Please advise me what to do
DO I NEED A FLORIDA ATTORNEY, OR IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE ONE FROM TENNESSEE?
