Hi, I am new to the forum, looking for some advice.
I will try to make a long story short.
I have a 7 year old daughter, me and her father split up while I was pregnant, after she was born, I had started a court case asking for custody and support for her. He never showed so I was awarded sole custody and child support (table amount) based on his earnings.
In 7 years, me or my daughter have never heard from him. A few years ago I tried looking for him to bring him back to court to ask for help with childcare and dental costs. I work full time, and dont have a benefits plan, and she has needed some excessive dental treatments. I was hoping for ANY kind of help, anything would help. I was unable to locate him. He has gone to the extreme to cut out anyone from his family who even talks to me, in fear that I would find him...
Last week I was served with a motion from him, what a surprise!
I must say, I am a bit confused. The form 15, motion to change is signed by a court clerk, but where his signature should be, is left blank.
In the papers it states he lost his job Oct/09 and is looking to :
a. terminate support
b. change support to reflect his EI income which is TBD, table amount of that income
c. change support to reflect his EI income TBD, other than table amount.
Because it states these three things, I am confused as to what it is he is really asking for.
He is asking to have it back dated to Oct/09 when he became unemployed. Cort date is set for March.
I am unsure how to respond as I am confused as to what he is asking, table amount or not table amount or termination?
Also states that He has included a ROE, which was not included.
I do agree that child support should be changed to reflect his income, however the only thing that scares me is this. If a judge changes and reduces the order, and then he makes it impossible for me to find him to bring him back at a later date when he is employed again...
Is there anything I can do to protect myself from that happening again?
Also, is there anything I can do on these papers to ask for some help with any upcoming dental expenses when he is employed again? I guess I will just eat the cost of the previous childcare and dental seeing as he is unemployed now.
If anyone can offer some help on this, I would gladly appreciate it.
