Parenting plan & both parties reside in Washington state.
SS is 10.
CP has said she is not going to show up for our visitation this weekend because she has plans. She is not providing make-up time. It looks like we will be going to court for contempt. CP said last night she didn't care, her attorney told her to do whatever she wanted to get us to take her to court. She said she will then ask for more
child support.
Doesn't seem right. If she wanted child support recalculated she could easily request that through DSHS & it wouldn't cost her a penny. I think there is something with the fact of us taking her to court vs. her taking us to court. Maybe so she can ask for court costs?
CP is obviously hoping that NCP is making more money, than the last time it was evaluated (4 years ago). But he is not, in fact he was downsized & out of work for over a year. He was forced to take a lower paying job in March. Because he continued to pay full support & didn't ask for a reduction CP doesn't know about any of it.
To cover our bases & avoid a he said-she said case of contempt, we sent her the Notice of Intent to Exercise Visitation (certified & regular mail with a copy to her attorney) letter from this site. We will show up at the pickup location, get date/time stamped receipt & wait the 45 minutes per our parenting plan before returning home.
Question #1 Will the judge be open to discussing all outstanding issues we have or would s/he only hear the contempt items?
Question #2 What do you make of the child support/court issue? Any ideas of why they would be trying to get us to take her to court?
Question #3 Do we need to do anything else to document the contempt?
Thanks again!
