After waiting a month, I received my fate from an interim motion. So many mistakes in the order, but the most blatant being that her side did not play by ANY of the rules. First and foremost, they never submitted a financial statement prior to the hearing. Secondly, they did not disclose any details of what they were told to at a previous conference. Oh yeah, and she was caught in court lying on her affidavit.
In the end, the judge fell for the male-bashing on the day of court, and made a decision in spite of the rules before him. Bottom line is that after I pay my mortgage and CS and SS, I have $200 left over each month. And I pay for all medical and dental for the 2 kids; daughter's braces alone are $250 a month, so before I eat I am $50 in the red each month. Add home insurance, car insurance, gas...oh yeah, and food, and I am sinking fast. She now makes more than me and I work full time and she does not.
My lawyer said he has never seen anything like it in 20 years - heard of it, but never seen it personally. He offered to do the appeal for half price, so that alone gives you an idea of how absurd this decision is if it can move a lawyer to reduce his rates in half. Even at that price, I would need a radical reversal for it to be worthwhile. And really, what judge(s) are going to go against a member of their club? Not going to roll those dice again. Ever.
So thank you judge, for ignoring all the rules that are supposed to make the process fair for BOTH parties.
