So we were at a conference for a Motion to Change CS, ex doesn't want to pay CS and she starts murmring about her new child (3 years old, from next husband) being autistic for the reason for her not being able to work (the child for whom I seek CS is also a high functioning autistic.)
The judge says to ex: if you cant work full time or part time then go to your doctor and bring me a note saying that YOU are disabled. i'll allow you time to do this and then proceeds to write in her endorsement that the ex has to submit medical evidence to show she is disabled.
The thing is the Ex did not say she is disabled, nor did she write any such pleading about herself. she did write her other child being autistic but not herself, it seemed to me that the judge was asking the ex to commit fraud.
I'll admit i was not quick on my feet and didn't object right then and there. i was rather shocked and too stunned to react to that.
then comes the next conference date and the ex walks in with a "consultation request" that says the ex has " choronic microcytic anemia and iron deficency" and claims that she is disabled. (the consultation request does not mention anywhere that she is disabled.) the judge says "we asked her to provide her medical report and she did and its clear that she is unable to work so lets decide on this, she was ready to rule based on that "consultation request".
I argued that the note does not say that she is disabled nor is anemia a recognized disability, the judge goes "alright we will let you question her for 10 minutes and then we will decide, you can each have 20 minutes to prepare yourself"
I was shocked, this was a case conference and the judge wanted to turn it into an instant motion, it appeared to me that after successfully pulling a fast one (to help ex declare herself disabled) the judge wanted to pull another fast one to help out the ex. when we came back the judge called the ex to the witness stand, before anything else could happen I told the judge I came here for a conference and that I am not ready for questioning, the judge was mad and said she is reserving costs of the conference. and postponed the motion to 6 days later.
It seems like her mind is set to give the ex a leave from paying CS no matter what, what should I do?
