In order to respond intelligently, we need more information about what exactly you're hoping to accomplish.

Is there a stipulated agreement that the parties wish to be entered as an order?

Is there a temporary/interim order that the parties wish to be made permanent?

Is there an existing order that one or both parties wish to register in another state?


But first things first: which MBuck are you today?

Over 2 years ago my ex-wife and i went to court, with me attempting to change to the shared economic formula.

I don't know about MI - but here in Sunny California, these two statements aren't mutually exclusive ;)
I was merely observing that in OP's first thread, OP is Stepmom (with Dad "sitting directly next to me as I type"). In subsequent threads, OP is Dad.

Barring reassignment surgery, something fishy is going on...

My wife refuses to come near here. She did say that the advice seems good as long as it's a biological parent asking. So she logged me in and said "good luck"
The friend of the court ran numbers and came up with a child support figure i can live with. I do not have representation and do not know my next step. the foc has told me "looks like you need to file a motion to accept the court order." I know she will not agree to these numbers. I was also told to get with her lawyer and find out if she agrees. Obviously, he willnot return my calls. I assume that he knows I don't know the legal systems ins and outs and therefore will screw this up on my own. Which he is pretty right on. I don't know if there are enough details here, but it's all I know. My next step is to seek an attorney. However, I hate to do this. I would rather spend that money on my kids than give it to an attorney at this point.

I think that what the FOC was telling you was to file to accept the FOC recommendation, rather than filing to accept the court order.

The FOC makes recommendations, not court orders.
