She doesn't seem to bother with what the law says, does she? And she definitely seems to favor the party that is paying the CS.
Frankly, I was rather surprised when she lowered the child support based on nothing more that a dr's letter saying she needed to "cut back" her hours, and Lynn's word that she had put in to go part time at the end of the month. Lynn couldn't even answer how many hours she would be working!!
But did that stop the judge? Oh no! She didn't worry about finding out exactly what the dr meant by "cutting back" - so far as how much/how long/etc. She didn't bother needing some proof that Lynn actually was going to part time and what exactly that meant. Oh no - - she just plucked a number out of the air. Then they feed this number into the calculator - that is wrong!
Yeah -you've seen her. Do you think it would do any good to try to tell her that her numbers were wrong? :)
Tom and I talked more this weekend and we just decided it was time to let it go. It was never about the money anyway - - and it just isn't worth it anymore. Even if Judge Dingbat put the support back to the $340/month is was before, it isn't worth it. It isn't worth having to see Lynn and hear her whiney voice, it isn't worth dealing with that judge, it isn't worth going downtown to court -- - It just isn't worth it - -- - it is time to just let it go.
Hope things are going well for you!
