Validity of Child Support

[Prisym777]

Yeah... that is the consequence of working illegally.

You could quit and get a real job. jus' sayin'.

Yeahh that’s the goal but the money was good downside is having to pay my own taxes

 

[Prisym777]

How long has this been going on, the child support payments? It will be much better if you have a legitimate job when you go to court. At least have gotten out there and begun looking diligently for one.

Since separation 2 years now been a “self-employed contractor” but now I have to find my way into a crew that’s on the books I just wish it was easier since you have to have so many certifications

 

[Prisym777]

Another question - is this the job you were working before you separated?

Yes! Payed the bills and everything with it

 

[Prisym777]

Honestly? You're unlikely to find much sympathy for working under the table and not supporting your child - and then trying to get off on a technicality.

Yeahh that’s not the goal here I want my son and have wanted my son since the separation at first things were ok we agreed to see him both without a court order.. separation got nasty and now I have to afford a lawyer to see him. Don’t get me wrong. I want help not sympathy that’s why I’m here. No one gives legal advice for free so far I’ve only gotten valuable help here. There’s a lot more going on that I didn’t specify because it has nothing to do with the question asked.

 

[Prisym777]

Have you pulled the proof of service that is in the court file? That's where you'll find the information regarding the person who served the documents.

No but definitely will do that now thank you!

 

[Prisym777]

Did you see what you were served? Did you show up in court?

Uh..yeah that’s why I’m seeking legal help this is 2 years back a lot had to be planned before even considering the lawyer.

Uh..yeah that’s why I’m seeking legal help this is 2 years back a lot had to be planned before even considering the lawyer.

You were served two years ago and the case took place about two years ago?

Uh..yeah that’s why I’m seeking legal help this is 2 years back a lot had to be planned before even considering the lawyer.

But did you go to court 2 years ago for this or not?

 

[Prisym777]

You were served two years ago and the case took place about two years ago?

the start of it was two years ago. Child support was in motion last year and was finalized this year 2-3 months ago. (I cannot recall off of the top of my head)

 

[Prisym777]

But did you go to court 2 years ago for this or not?

No.

 

[Zigner]

No.

Why not?

 

[Prisym777]

The way the court dates were set up? You just follow the papers you receive was I supposed to do something different?

 

[Zigner]

You didn't think it was a good idea to show up in court to contest this?

If the matter was finalized 2-3 months ago, you're not going to get a change now.

 

[Prisym777]

Why not?

Also at the time she didn’t file for child support. She chose not too since we both were on good terms. This led into reasons of the relationship ending. Then the fighting.

 

[Prisym777]

You didn't think it was a good idea to show up in court to contest this?

If the matter was finalized 2-3 months ago, you're not going to get a change now.

I’ve tried. I’ve been told not to speak multiple times and was told I’d get in trouble for outbursts this I’ve tried asking nicely going by what they’ve told me would help which was little to nothing. Then the pressure got worse the more I wasn’t able to speak leading to an actual outburst.
