Mess,
Thank you for your quick reply.
1) "
spousal support advisory guidlines ", I will take time to go through it.
2) i have paid the child supput a lot in lump sum, plus my daughter's after school programms, weekend programms, summer private schools etc. i do not mind and be happy to pay for my child, she is part of my life. however, everytime i pay the child support in lump sum, and i put my wife's name on the checks. I only wrote "child support" on the bottom of the checks. And after handing the ckecks to my wife, i did not ask reciepts, it seems i do not have evidence to proof what i did. Is it ok for the judge to accept it.
3) " Spousal Support is a different case, the onus is on her to show that she should be receiving support and why. By paying any amount of Spousal Support for past years you are basicly agreeing with her claim. Let the judge decide if she deserves it or not.", --- this is very helpful. the lawyer I hired before told me at the last meeting that i could repreent myself, tell the judge my financial difficulty of hiring a lawyer to gain some understanding, show all the right paper/documents to the judge, let the judge make a decision. He also told me that in my case there is not too much arguement. Is it the right way to handle the case in term of self-representation.
4) there are a lot of tricky things in it. Learnt a lot from you, and keep learning.
thank you for your kind support
