What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
South Carolina
Hi my name is Jeremy I need help with a serious child support case pending. The case involves my 5 year old daughter, for the first 4 years of my daughters life I had full custody but after my ex wife took parenting classes I allowed her to take care of her while I got back on my feet, I moved to South Carolina, my daughter is in Florida. A month after I left I was served papers that she wanted primary custody and also child support. Her laywer is threatening me stating that him and the judge are best friends and if I do not agree to pay (250.00) a month in his agreement I will be held in contempt of court with a warrant issued for my arrest. I have no physical way to make it to the court date on Feb 2nd.
I told him 250.00 sounds very high for someone who does not have any income to pay and he says thats Florida's minimum, is there a way to check this? Also what can I do, if I don't sign the papers I have to make it to Florida by the 2nd which is near impossible if I do sign it I am agreeing to pay 250 a month that I do not have (She also owes me 2 years of back child support that during our divorce was cancelled because she had no means to pay)
Please any advice will be helpful.
