I am looking for some unbiased help on this as I have been known to be very wordy as that is how I know I am expressing all facts.
Is this to the point and brief enough? Does it explain enough to formulate an idea on what is occurring?
Child Protection
1. There have been proven claims of emotional abuse from the Respondent toward the child.
2. The child has stated he will resort to suicide if forced to spend any time with the Respondent.
3. Immediate medical attention was sought which resulted in a referral to a child therapist and child psychiatrist.
4. The Respondent has claimed the child is seeking attention and is not being abused nor suicidal.
5. The Respondent is unwilling to participate in child protection mediation with Family and Children's Services.
6. The Respondent is unwilling to participate is therapy with the child.
7. The Respondent is currently seeking to abolish a 10 year status quo while the child is claiming to resort to suicide and substantiated claims of emotional abuse.
8. The Respondent is currently seeking split decision-making responsibility while never having decision-making responsibility in the 10 years of the child's life.
9. The Respondent is currently seeking to have majority parenting-time and for me to have every other weekend parenting-time.
10. The Respondent is currently seeking to have the child reside with him full time.
11. The Respondent's sole claim of material change is that the child resides with my parents in [location] and not with me in [location].
12. My parents provide before and after school care of both my children while my husband and I are at work.
13. My mother provided a sworn affidavit attesting to this on November 30th, 2021.
14. I have offered to provide the Respondent with the security camera footage of my residence proving the child has been residing with me.
15. Through a Request to Admit, the Respondent stated his allegations of material change have been based solely on his personal observations and are "a belief and not necessarily a fact."
16. The child has refused to spend time with the Respondent since March 25th, 2022 claiming he does not feel safe and if he was forced to go, he would harm himself.
17. The Office of the Children's Lawyer declined involvement on two separate occasions.
Child Support
18. The Respondent made $70,101 in 2021 meaning child support shall be altered to $654.95 per month.
Back Child Support
19. The Respondent's income in 2020 was $171,187.00 equating to $1,451.55 per month ($17,418.60 per year)
20. The Respondent was paying child support based on his 2019 income of $69,702.00 equating to $651.00 per month ($7,812 per year)
21. This would equate to $9,606.60 in retroactive child support owed to the child for the 2020 calendar year
22. The Respondent paid $7,500 of the retroactive child support as part of the terms of a written agreement. The Respondent then reneged on the terms of the agreement
23. With the Respondent paying $7,500 in retroactive child support, that would leave a remainder of $2,106.60 owed to the child.
