Hello im new to the forums. I recently started a process for child support from my ex husband. At the time of our divorce although my income was only a quarter of his I had agreed to him not paying me any if I was able to claim both of the children for income tax purposes. That was 7 years ago. Since then I have been struggling greatly financially.
I applied for legal aid but was declined due to the fact I was only going for child support. I then was referred to FLIC. I started my first flic appointment in February of last year. It took several appointments to finally get my income information in properly as every appointment my income changed as im self employed so I had to submit a new form. Over one year later papers finally were filed. I recently moved in with my boyfriend of 3 years because I could not afford to live . On my own anymore. I have one child from a previous relationship which I receive no support for and his dad is not in his life. Me and my ex husband have joint shared custody of our 2 children. We each have them equal amounts of time. Flic said I am no longer eligible for their help since I moved in with my boyfriend. If they hadn't taken so long to help me get this started in the first place I would not be in this situation.
Anyhow, his answer was due to be filed today. Yesterday his fiancee handed me a filed motion and affidavit asking for a extension till june 12 so he could seek legal advice. He stated in his motion that it was with notice and unopposed. What does this mean?? I am opposed to an extension. I see no reason we cannot get a case conference scheduled asap. I would like to mediate but I know he just wants to pay nothing and try to fight over it. His fiancee said that she will make him quit his job before he pays me anything. He makes over 50k more then me a year. I am well below poverty level income and he still insists I split on sports and everything down the middle. 4 years ago he talked me into switching the kids schools to his area. I agreed to it as he said on my weeks he would drive the kids home from school to my home every day and on the days that he couldnt drive them to my house from school hed give me 10.00 for gas. He adhered to our agreement for the first 9 months since then I have been driving back and forth fully with no monetary compensation at all as per our verbal agreement. It costs me 500 per month in gas just getting my kids back and forth to school. I am beyond broke. I cant wait any longer to have case conference set up. Please help aid me in my next step. Can I file a motion to oppose the extension or at least agree to the extension as long as I see that a case conference date is set up?? This has now become an emergency situation. It is causing issues between myself and boyfriend as I cant even afford to pay the bills I promised to pay once I moved in with him. Please help.
Sorry for the rambling I just wanted all to see the full situation to best access it. Thank you in advance.
