Sorry, but you are not entirely correct, so I'd hold off on the name-calling. CSE is there for the State's interest, NOT the parent. If there is an appeal process, the CSE's attorney will be there to defend THEIR calculation, but they are NOT there to defend the parent. It might differ for those who are low-income, disabled, etc.SingleMom67 said:Wrong again. There goes another legally uneducated response. In PA, every plaintiff in a CSE case is assigned an attorney whether they want to use that person or not. The assigned attorney is paid by the state to represent the plaintiff. It is recommended that mom go because the state-appointed attorney doesn't know personal facts that go on outside of the court. In other words if dad (in this case) lies, attorney has no way of knowing. Mom is there to refute.
This is a serious misconception from parents who use CSE thinking the agency will defend them. That is wrong. CSE is not supposed to and the other parent should be calling them out immediately when it looks like they are.
BTW...who's "there" when the mom lies??
