What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MN
I'm looking for any advice you can give me...
(I'm using a friend's account because I don't have an email address)
My wife and I divorced in 2005. At that time I was ordered to pay $390/mo in child support and joint legal custody and got regular weekend visitation. 9 months ago, my ex wife took off with our daughter to Idaho, changed her phone number, will not answer my emails, etc. I have tried numerous times to try to find out where she is so I can see my daughter, but she stays hidden.
3 days ago, my mother called me and said I had gotten mail at her house. It was a Motion to Modify Child Support, and she had gotten it several weeks earlier. Court date is for November 17th, and it says I have to have papers served to the other party at least 14 days before the court date if I want to respond. I just got these papers because she sent them to my mom's house and not my house. Is there anything I can do?
Other issues....
She does list an address in Idaho and she also lists her phone number on the papers. I called the phone number to try to talk to my daughter, but the phone number is disconnected.
She lists in the papers that "I have had to put our daughter on medical assistance, he is ordered to carry insurance & doesn't, so I think that needs to be addressed also." I am carrying health and dental insurance on our daughter, but she chooses not to use it.
She has a lot of conflicting information on the papers...
In the papers she filled out, as well as papers from Idaho welfare, she says she has an income of $150/mo. Based on this, she is getting food stamps and child care assistance. Her check stubs, however, show that she is making $920 per month.
In the papers for the modification and the papers she sent showing what she told the county, she says she is paying $650/mo in daycare expenses to have her sister babysit because she has to pay daycare for 40 hours per week while she is working and lists our daughter as not attending school. Our daughter is 9 years old, she is in school, and her check stubs show that she is working an average of 20 hours per week. Also, she has included a signed letter from her sister saying she does daycare for our daughter and that she charges $88/wk for anything over 30 hours a week. So even is my ex was working 40 hours a week, she would only be paying $381/mo.
The Affidavit of Service by Mail is not filled out at all. There is nothing filled in except the signature of her sister at the bottom and a notary public stamp.
Any advice or guidance on how I should handle this and what to do would be greatly appreciated!What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
