Hey folks, long story short (I'll spare you the "She did this"and "She did that") my ex served me custody papers requesting full custody. I don't disagree with that for personal reasons so is not replying an easy way to let them through.
I.e will it be a default for her if I just dont reply and don't go to court.
Also, we have an unwritten child support agreement, I send money when I can so it's not mentioned in the papers I was served, now if I don't show up and she were to tell the judge "Oh, he never sent me money" would the judge issue an order for that in my absence, or am I safe in that regard because she isnt mentioning child support in the paper I was served.
My concern is A) I'm not doing something criminal by not attending/replying and
B) The judge somehow says I owe arrears because I'm not there to show proof of past payments etc.
And I know some people might say"Oh just go"
I have two other kids, My wife works and I go to school full-time, we have no family to watch our kids and it's hard to miss school/work.
Thanks in advance.
