I no longer have a lawyer, I have received my complete file from the office. I have an upcoming SC scheduled for March 24. My questions are, which forms, what is the deadline to submit the forms and any feedback on do's and don'ts for self rep would be appreciated. I am honestly financially struggling and cant afford a lawyer
A little background:
Had a lawyer from the beginning to just now
High conflict seperation
Seperated January 2012
D14 lives full time with me and D8 rotates week on/off (for winter months)
OCL is involved
We lost all assets, house camper ect and both declared bankrupt
Ex, always worked full time and year round and has always had a salary ranging from 75- over 100/year until our seperation, now he works 5-6 months a year and is collecting unemployment
Last case conference Oct 12, judge suggested he pays approx $700 child support he refused and walked out
Child Support paid to date
April 12 - Sept 12, 1355.00 a month (seperation agreement according to the guidelines) (lost matrimonial home moved into rental)
Oct 12-March 13, no child support (lost rental, forced to move in with a friend)
April 13 - Oct 13, judge ordered to pay 450 a month (he hadn't disclosed any of his income so this is temporary) for one child only
Oct 13 - Now, no child support
He is in arrears of over $8000
His salary NOA
2008 - $ 82,000
2009 - 99,000
2010 - 95, 400
2011 - 103, 000
2012 - $33,000 (5 months worked)
2013 - $38,000 (7 months worked)
Oct 3, 2013 unemployed
I understand none of this matters but this was a planned and repetitive seperation and he is living and bought a $250,000 home with his new girlfriend.
FRO is involved, they are enforcing the $450 a month only even though the whole reason I contacted them was to begin enforcement on the $1355.00 a month. They are suppose to follow up with me in that regard.
Issues to resolve:
Child and Spousal Support
Custody and access
Divorce
