Modification question...

What is the name of your state -Washington

The state of Washington is modifying our child support agreement we currently have, it will be an upward modification due to a significant increase in income Dad has, among other things.

Anyways...he called me this morning to verify my mailing address. He told me he HAS to send me, along with the State of Washington a copy of his response he is submitting.

I wonder if this is correct, or if he is in fact getting ready to try and serve me with something. Last time we did a modification of child support he didn't send me anything, as he wasn't required to. If he is about to serve me with something he absolutely would not tell me ahead of time.

Does this sound right? Is the NCP required to send a copy of the child support response to the CP since it is being handled by the State of Washington?

Thanks

It would seem to me, that logically, since you are the other party, that he would indeed have to "serve" you a copy of his response. However, he could be trying to serve you something else as well. Its not uncommon for an ncp to file for custody (and judges are well aware of this) when hit with a child support increase.

You may not have received a response from him last time, because he may not have filed a response last time.

Yeah, it just seemed odd to me. Last time he did file a response, but it was to the courts only. He has made numerous threats before that he was going to try to modify custody if I requested a child support modification.

Just wasn't sure if this was the norm, since it was done differently last time. Guess I will have to just wait and see Thank you!

New question, same modification

Hello

I just received paperwork in the mail yesterday from the child support office (States Attorney) It has the new paperwork and child support amount in it, however...the states office did not include the child care information I provided to her.

Our last modification had all of this information in it and required he pay child support AND half of monthly child care expenses.

The paperwork gave us a court date of November 30th. I went ahead and re-drafted the childcare information and faxed it to the Child support office hoping they will add it back in. I called and spoke with the secretary to make sure it was received, and it was. I told her the reason I was sending it, and she made a comment that they DID NOT have the info prior to the attorney drawing up the papers.

I made sure they had the information, because the attorney did the SAME thing on the last modification. So, I'm wondering what you guys think...Should the faxed info be enough? Or do you think I should do something different...

My ex seems to think that since it wasn't added originally it won't be added even though I am requesting it to be and he will not be required to continue paying half of the child care fees. Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful...Thanks

More questions...court tomorrow


On Friday I looked at the Court website online and noticed that my ex-husband filed something called a Motion & Declaration To Present
Oral Testimony.

Of course I haven't been able to go to the court house and get a copy of this since it was apparently filed on Wednesday and I didn't know about it until Friday and the Court is closed until tomorrow so I have no idea what this could be for.

The Prosecuting attorney has already sent each of us paperwork with the new child support amount listed, however, he mentioned that the prosecuting attorney called him last week and asked him to submit his mileage information (he lives approx 4 1/2 hours away) and he told me he submitted it, SO I can only assume that he is going to bring that information up in court and have the child support amount reduced even further.

So, my questions are:

1) What would ANY reason be why a person would submit this motion?

2) If he tries to have the child support reduced due to his mileage/travel costs can I ask the judge NOT to allow this since he is the one that moved further away?

3) The Prosecuting attorney has NOT called me one time since the modification was submitted, BUT my ex told me on Friday that when he spoke to her last week she told HIM that she has not yet recieved MY final financial documents...I of course have submitted them but noticed on the final paperwork that NONE of my information was included other than my wages such as...child care, deduction information, etc...however she did include ALL of his deductions. I'm frustrated because they told my ex-husband this, but have not contacted me, and won't return my calls. I finally just got a letter on Saturday, because I finally faxed the childcare information to the CS office, and the letter said they will not include the childcare information at this point, and if I want it included I now have to file a seperate motion. I have no idea why they won't include it now, because they did last time. I have tried to call the CS office a dozen times and have never recieved a call back. Since my information wasn't included can I ask that it be included in the final order? We have court tomorrow and I just don't know what to do...

Any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas would be great...Thank you!
