Hi there!  I haven't been on the site for some time now, but wanted to make sure that ALL the people in Washingtong state that are on this site, know about what is going on here in Seattle..... My husband, a NCP himself, got involved with this situation just a couple of weeks ago.  To say it is absolute nonsense would be a very big understatement.

Under the chair of Christine Gregoire a commity has been formed to look into changing the guidelines for child support by the NCP.  They have a website and meet every so often.

PLEASE, take the time to go to their webisite and see what this commity is trying to change... IT WILL DISGUISED YOU!  If you are a NCP, please also take the time to go to this website and help the fight to stop this commity from putting in place the ideas that they are working on..... I AM BEGGING YOU!  NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD NOT TO GET INVOLVED......

Thank you for taking time to read this post.  I am going to try to put it on another site also....

Not sure if you can help, but let me tell you a short history and what we are trying to accomplish.
Our main goal is not to have to pay this women one more single dime.  She gets enough money already, has a job that she will only work 30hrs a week, and is supporting her jobless, cheating boyfriend who doesn't live with her.  
We would love for the kids to come live with us, but we just aren't sure how to prove that she is an unfit mother.  She leaves the kids with a babysitter most of the time, they go to the swimming pool unattended (there are 10 and 9), during school she would keep them out until 11 or 12 on a school night, she also takes medicine being bi-polar and although we can't prove it, because we live 45min of her we believe that she leaves the kids alone.
Like I said before, don't know what you could do for us, but thought i would run our story by you.
Thanks

Hello there!  We are looking for a "spit-fire", take no prisoners, down and dirty lawyer for WA state.  My SO's crazy (literally) ex is going after him for more money,  about a $1000.00 more a month on top of what she already gets.
We just need someone who will help us get her back down to earth and give this girl a good kick in the pants before things get out of hand.

Thanks

I thank you for the info, We will look into him ASAP.
Thanks again

We live in King county, but the mother and divorce decree were filed in Pierce County..... Do you know if we have to file all paper work with the Pierce county court or can we do it in King?

We are currently looking for a good lawyer for Washington State.  He/she has to be on the fathers side and most be unbelivable at their job.  We are going to need it.

Hi everyone,
  In light of my posting on fathers rights, I thought I would start a post with a very serious question that I hope all of you can help me out with.
If you didn't read my post, it is about a commitee in WA state that has been formed to change the way NCP's pay their child support.  More or less they are looking at every way possible to up the support and make the state and CP's more money.  It is going to very badly hurt all the NCP's that are barely making it now!

So my question is this: What kind of changes would you like to see in the child support area?  Is it they way it is figured out, should it be based on how much time you should actually get with the children, etc...

If you would take a minute and think back to when you had to go through it or are going through it now and think of what just doesn't make sense or what you would like to see changed, I would appreciate it a lot.  If there are people from WA state participating, go to their website and look at the issues they are considering, what would you like to see on there, what do you think about what they are trying to do?

I will be looking forward to reading all of your responses. Thank you!

Well, we won!!!!  The judge told her that "summer camp" can not be used as day care and for that fact, she was already getting money for day care, which is put into the CS payment.  He told her that it was bad enought that she had been "double dipping" in that area for the past 4 years, but to have him pay for this was crazy!  

The judge also ruled for our CS payment to go up less then $100.00 a month.  So we are happy and can't wait to get on with our lives.... Until the next time she wants something......

Hi there!  
Need to know if anyone has been in this position before or could give me advice on what to do.... Here is the situation.

FI's ex took him back to court to get more CS.  That day the judge set his income and hers and told our lawyers that a program called circle e would be used to figure out the new CS payment.  Our lawyer imputed the incomes and came out thith three sets of numbers.  This is what the program is suppose to do.

The judge then set a new date, which is today, to have us come back and him decide on what amount he is going to make my FI pay.  The problem is, the ex's lawyer got number higher (WAY HIGHER) then ours.  If the judge uses ANY of her numbers, each month after paying his regular bills and her, he will be in the black each month.....

How can that happen?  

The other thing is that same day, the judge said that there will be no more extra money for day care (kids are school age 10 & 11).  She then turns around and signs them up for all kinds of summer camps (claiming that is her day care) and want us to pay for them.  The kids have never been to summer camps before!  Can the judge make us pay for that too?

HELP!

This is the advice I got from a very good lawyer friend....

Don't take any chances... Get a pre-nup and do it now.... You never know what a judge my do when he is feeling moody... Even if it states it cannot be used, if you make a lot more the your hubby, it may be considered....

PLEASE take this advice and just get a pre-nup to cover your assets.
