Finally after 16 months since my application I was able to vary child support order that was badly out of touch with reality. I was able to show that I paid the court ordered $300,000 in transfers and that I was not in contempt as she claimed. I was 90-95% successful in my 4.5 day trial.
Can you kindly give me advice on what I should claim as court costs. Since I was self repd the obvious is couriour cost, gas to drive 4 hrs to court, meals, print shops etc. My biggest cost was my time. I have suffered from severe litigation fatigue learning about different docs, completing case conf briefs, settlement conf briefs, motion materials etc. This has surely affected my attempts to reaquire meaningful employment.
Over the last 7.5 yrs I have lost all that I own (almost), have been allienated from my children and try hard to keep looking at the bright side. The courts have not been kind to me but some judges are seeing the injustices and seem almost appoligetic as they clearly see the advantages taken by the former wife.
Do you think the judge would consider a credit to FRO instead of asking the mother of my kids to pay me directly. Actually she has had no qualms about asking for and demanding excessive costs. I paid costs in previous court decisions to the tune of over $50,000 combined. She previously had a crafty lawyer. Crafty is the nicest word I could come up with.
