What is the name of your state? Alaska
In Nov 2005, I filed paperwork requesting modification of child support order entered in Texas in May 2003. Neither myself or my ex live in Texas. Alaska is now the home state of the children and has been since Jun 2005.
Florida received the paperwork from the Alaska Child support agency in Feb 2006, and filed the order for enforcement in April 2006. In Jan 2007, Florida agreed an increase was warranted. My ex disagreed. So the state filed a supplemental petition for support modification in Feb 2007. In Mar 2007, he hired an attorney and answered this. In April 2007, his attorney filed motions for visitation, enforcement of order and contempt of court against me. I was served with these on July 26, 2007. As of today, there has not been a hearing on the request for modification.
In May 2007, I had filed to register my Texas order in Alaska for enforcement since none of us lived in Texas. The paperwork was sent to my ex as required by law and when no response was received, the order was confirmed as registered (both custody and support). After the confirmation, I filed paperwork for modification of the custody to require re-establishing parent/child relationship. After this was received, his lawyer filed a motion to set aside the confirmation of the registered order stating Florida had jurisdiction. Neither myself nor the children have ever lived in Florida.
The AK judge held a status hearing on Aug 14. At that hearing, it was determined we would hold a hearing telephonically between both courts (Florida and AK) since there seemed to be some question concerning who had jurisdiction of what. Currently the only order present is the Texas order. It has not been modified.
I received in the mail service of Standard Family Law Interrogatories and Family Law Custody Interrogatories. We have a court date of Oct 17 to determine jurisdiction of the custody and support matters (ie which court has jurisdiction over what). All motions had to be filed in either court by Sep 14 and answers by Sep 28. I also received a financial statement from my ex where he claims under oath a mortgage and property taxes. He lives with his mother and a search on the county website does not show him owning any property.
From what I can find on the web, these interrogatories are used in Alaska during initial proceedings only and are no longer mandatory in Florida. I have given Florida (and AK) a financial affidavit along with my current tax return. My understanding is I don't have to answer the standard family law interrogatories; Furthermore, from what I've read, I am not accountable to Florida law in an UIFSA case except for a Financial Affidavit which they have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
