What is the name of your state?OHIO
My ex (NCP) whom I have tried and tried to get support from, has finally made it to the court system. I recieved a copy of a letter sent to him requesting employer information, and getting a job if he's claiming to have none. There was no date on it for court, but it said he will be recieving an appointment, and if he misses he will be found in contempt of his CO. Apparently he recieved a date, and missed it last week. I had no knowledge of it, other than keeping on the CSEA about him working under the table all year , and we get turned down for assistance, because I work so much overtime. He made a handful of payments through the year, like 3-5. They seem to calculate support in there as income whether or not I get it. I have 3 children. I was wondering, if once they do obtain him, would the case be reviewed or modified at all? His amount has exceeded 10,000. I pay more for childcare, and now have 300/month in insurance for the kids through work. His amount was based on the minimum due to being unemployed our first time around. I know he makes a lot more than I do .And has no bills, since he lives off of friends, family, and women. We found out xmas day that his new mate of one month is pregnant, and he was hoping to get support lowered. Is he nuts? Won't the judge just be that more upset airing that kind of news in court for contempt on a prior child? Just wondering if anything will arise to benefit us in the future. Thanks. :eek:

Modifications

The will side with the CP parent in most case, also with that said varying on the juge and the IV Pros. Attroney they will not put up with him missing a court date. ie. Failure to apprear can lead to a bench warrent, once you are supeoda to court , you will be in cottempt if you don't show. Secondly, the child care expences certainly have a bang in court, modicfications can be set anytime the court feels that there is a purpose of which. Any factor can warrent this move by the court. There are rules by the court and guildlines per state most of these are on line, get a better feel for the calculations read these.

Thank you, I am just so glad the day is coming to face a judge and see him try to pity himself again. Yeah, I am angry, and I will keep my cool, but I wouldn't have to work doubles if they paid, and could be spending that time with my children. Will I be asked to appear if he is brought in? For contempt, if they are the ones filing it, I was going to myself, but its like a hundred bucks that I could use for our necessities. If nothing comes of it, tax time will help me file what I need. Then it would be worth those fees. I don't think an attorney is really necessary, but I want to be somewhat prepared for anything.

I'm not sure if it varied by county, but I am in Ohio and my husband is currently awaiting court dates for both CS Modification and Contempt (against his Ex). His atty told him that he could not do both at one hearing, even though the contempt involved CS.
