Attend the court hearing and throw yourself on the mercy of the court. And hope the judge is in a good mood. :cool:

And you're suing DHS...why?

Without an attorney?

Are you both of sound mind?

Out of interest, WHY exactly were you suing DHS?

And exactly what is happening/what happened with that case?

Regarding the child support - basically, you disagreed with the amount and instead of paying the amount and fixing it through the court system, you just didn't pay?

Is that correct?

When you say you 'sued' DHS and your ex, do you mean that you went to court to modify your child support order?

When you calculate what you owe, are you including interest?

Why shouldn't you pay the court fees if they have to haul your butt into court to get payment?

my ex called dhs and told them i owed her 6000 in back child support...dhs sent me a paper sayin i could write them a letter and set up a hearing.. i wrote the letter explaing we were still living together....they never set me up a hearing or contacted me back...thats why in 2009 my lawyer sewed them.. i had adoptated my ex other child in 2009 new dropped my right because she had married the childs father..support got dropped ..iam fine with the numbers...i called ex when i recived my summons..she claims she hasnt reiceved any papers..hasnt applied for tanfa or disability..she says this is all dhs doings..they have already took my liencse..and jan25, 2012 they r wanting to lock me up over oweing her maybe 1500?? i have police reports to show she wasnt lettin me see my child when i was payin her and didnt owe anything...will this help..have added up the payments that came with my summons and the numbers are very much off..just by the paper work my ex has giving them and the paper work they have!! this not even inculding what the new papers state for the most part they r still basing my back child support and current on the divorce papers in 2005!

One would think that more details would make the situation clearer, but that's not the case here.

I can't follow your story at all. You had kids, you adopted a kid, you gave up rights to a kid, you have a support order, you don't, you disagree with the numbers, you're okay with the numbers.... I'm lost.

I have no clue.

I'm going to get some more soup.

If this were not done in court and signed off by a judge, you are still responsible for child support for that child as well as your biological child. :cool:
