Sorry my words are so strong that you think I 'm stroking out. Unfortunately I have this vicious justice streak.
Dad has had custody of kids since November 1, 2004.
Mom received 3 child support checks in November and 1 in December, because it takes a while for the clearing house to change things.
Dad's lawyer has produced copies of Dad's checks which show child support has been taken out.
Mom's lawyer says she never received the money. Says it is lost in the clearing house.
http://www.familysupportcenter.maricopa.gov/DES/default.asp shows that she received 1246.14 in Nov and 417.63 in December. You need the atlas # and zip code to find your own.
Attorney and Mom were required to produce bank statements since she has direct deposit. Bank statement submitted was from 12/20/04 to 1/20/05, dates after she would have received the checks. Dad's lawyer objected, but judge didn't seem to care.
Judgement is for Mom to pay back 1246.14 in 30 days in order to avoid contempt charge and possible arrest warrant. She still has $1500 in attorney fees to pay and child support from 11/04, but that will not be addressed until after the child support overpayment is cleared.
When I accuse a professional of lying, I don't do it lightly. I have the written evidence and he just has his word. This is not a "he said/she said" thing.
Glad to know I can give him the same clerical assistance and research I gave our lawyer and not be charged $250 an hour for him to speak. (Perhaps I should have charged our lawyer for my time;)
I asked about the power to sign forms for convienence purposes, because he travels alot. But a Notary will work just fine, just takes more time. Considering we have 5 years before she reaches the $10,000 mark, I'd say that is something we have to spare.
Thanks for the advice and sarcastic humor. Your advice opens my eyes to opportunities and your humor always makes me laugh.
Unfortunately, I do have one more question:
1) Based on past court experiences, we are expecting that Mom will make no payments. What does being found in contempt mean as far as legal ramafications? (Mom in TX, Dad in AZ, court in AZ).
