North Carolina:
My husband and I are separated after he assaulted me on March 2nd. I have custody of our twin girls - 10 months old. He filed for custody but we had custody mediation that resulted in a parenting agreement signed before a judge. He has supervised visitation for two hours per month.
Child support hearing is on the 26th of this month (as well as the DVPO hearing). He motioned to continue it (again), but I refused. I feel totally unprepared for a child support hearing, however I am close to filing chapter 13 (or maybe 7). Finances are bad, of course.
Husband works about 30 hours per week at $8.25/ hour, and also does construction for a friend at church. He is paid cash for the construction job. According to him, he works every day except Sunday from 8am to 10pm.
Do I need to bring anything to prepare? I had an attorney but I used all the retainer and now owe him $1600, so he has stopped representing me until I can pay him. What can I expect during the hearing and what should I do to prepare? I was going to place the babes in a daycare so I could return to work but it is $1,600 / month for child care... I would not be able to pay it ...
