What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
After an application for child support modification and hearing. Modification was denied.
An appeal has been filed.
I know what an appeal is, BUT, what I want to know is what happens now? A court date has been set to hear the appeal, but does the court deal with the transcripts and information from the hearing last month, or do I need to bring my evidence with me again? (check stubs, reciepts etc..). Is it just like a duplicate of the last hearing? Can the petitioner bring new "evidence" or reasoning for the modification? Or is it just the petitioner wanting the court to review the last judgement and change it?
IDK why they would even do this if they cannot bring new evidence to the court, it was all very cut and dry, nothing out of the ordinary, the figures just didn't add up to the 20% raise indiana requires for mod. The only tidbit I can see making her angry is that the court entered minimum wage for her weekly gross income, and the check stub she brought claimed she only grossed $60.00 a wk waiting tables. (she refused to admit she made tips) But indiana uses "potential income", so they used min. wage.
Any advice? Really, I'm just looking for what to expect @ the actual hearing, How the child support appeals process work? not commentary on who should "win"What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
