I'm betting his ex KNEW what he wanted to petition the court to do in this episode, and she thought that if she didn't show up, they could not do it and his case would be dismissed. Unfortunately, she was wrong and now the court granted his request to pay less child support.
I respect this show. The educational aspect of it removes the sense of exploitation and jerry springer style reality nonsense I see in other shows of this kind like Judge Judy for example. I appreciate that the ethics of the situation were taken into account.
How the heck the guy is supposed to know where the ex wife is?...if I have to go to court and I don't have to see my ex wife?..that would make me veeery happy...😂🤣😅...!
I appreciate that we have such videos to be able to talk about child support case issues? Maybe as a community there a better chance to get credit for qualified directions, shared?
@@chuckscott4661so how do u think we should handle expenses when there is a child and the parents are split? I know CS has some crazy rule, but generally speaking, it's seems as if it does provide some type of help...,
I'll be sure to tune in! This channel is a great service and it's badly needed. If you look at the rest of the child support videos on you tube, it's just a mish-mash of individual videos with no focus. Using mock hearings is a great way for people to learn what actually goes on and how to act before they actually get in a court room. Thanks for doing this.
So true. There is a major respect almost like church. Speak when spoken to and and speak in an articulate way, ugh some of these parents are on some sort of audacity cloud of selfishness.
I had to find out this way what a default case was. I was more than willing to work with my sons dad but he never showed up or answered so they didn’t even ask me what amount I wanted. My plan was to take the amount and cut it in half. But no, judge swooped in and set the amount based on our incomes. I asked him to come to the table so we can work this out, and nothing. Why do people do this. Also- I waited 11 years for him to get a better job as he asked- turns out he was just gaslighting me. No better job or an attempt for one. Tired of being hungry
I’m literally in your shoes right now. i gave my sons father 7 years! I have been with my husband now for 6 years and we would love to change his last name. I gave his father every opportunity to pay whatever he could. He just retired from the Army after serving 14 years. He was served with paternity papers since he did not show up to the hospital to see his son, his name isn’t on the birth certificate. So he sign certified papers from the circuit clerk for a court ordered paternity test however he hasn’t responded in the 10 days they gave him. I have to submit default judgment tomorrow and we will see what happens from there.

Hi, in my case, we both were present, pro se, and the final judgement was 50/50 and i have to pay child support. I don’t know where my ex works, he dis not provide the updated financial affidavit ordered by the judge, and he testified that he make about certain amount when the judge asked, without proof of pay stubs, nor financial affidavit. He recently got a Ford F-150 2018, and i think he makes a lot more than me. How can i fight this? Advise please! 😅
Unfortunately this is not the way it really works I showed up 4 times each time they swore that I would get a default judgement if she didn’t show up again….. lol. I made drastically less money and had my kids for a good part of their lives and most of the time I didn’t have them I was paid up completely on my child support through the ATTORNEY GENERAL at some points even over paying plus sending her extra money plus having my kids for at least 3-4 months outta the year and a lot of extra stuff on top of that as well. They never gave me a default judgment even though she was served those 4 times and never showed up to court or even bothered to answer when the court called . At the end everything they raised my child support $250 a month. People ask why didn’t I get a lawyer the answer is simple lawyers cost money and I barely had money to eat some nights. And just a little interesting fact one of my kids did not live with her since he was 14 even though she still got bud for him and food stamps, one of them was grown and in the United States Air Force, and one of them lived with me for about a year after everything. But nah they didn’t give me a default judgement for her never showing up. The court proceeded alright but just in raising my child support. On the cool it don’t matter what u do u can call one of these child support officers right now and they will tell you that they are not concern with the kids collecting the money. I appreciate the way the video was put out trying to give people some hope but it’s not reality
Dam you judge, watching you makes me wanna send a message to all the young teenagers and young man. Dont get a woman Pregnant. Wait after 5 years in the relationship to see how it goes first
Sadley these days I think we a pre pregnancy agreement, like a prenuptial agreement parents can agree ahead of time how parenting will look like if things go south.
Well, I need some assistance because I never got served and no one never gave me no paper right now I am currently trying to get a request for a default court order
Can you do one when the mother is legal and the father is undocumented can the father still pay child support? And what if he gets deported could it still be enforced?
Curlygirl shawna - If he is deported there isn’t any way for the support ordered to be enforced since he will not fall under US jurisdiction. Choose the father more wisely the next time-
No undocumented alien the Texas court cannot enforce child support on him a birth certificate when signing is not an obligation according to the inspector general it’s just a notification that a child was born in the United States meaning the 50 states not Washington DC she’s telling you a lie .
Wait... he mentioned at the end that about the younger son... is the younger son leaving with him, too?🤔 and would the child support be more?🤔 Im no smart person... but common sense is common sense, and every perent should do the best for there child, and if not you shal pay🤭 love to see you cutting the BS🤣😂...there reaction, priceless🤪... great content😅😁
Deandre Thurman Thank you for tuning in and be sure to subscribe!! Yes. The attorney general’s office can intercept tax returns when retroactive child support is owed.
To a child support hearing unless it’s a motion for enforcement, no warrant is issued. The court simply enters a default. A subpoena isn’t necessary for a party to the case.
My daughter's father told me he will never get a job to pay me child support because his parents told him that I would have to stay in there home and raise my daughter alone till she graduates high school 😔 his parents told me they would pay all our bills and get us an apartment and buy us food on a monthly basis.😲 when my daughter's father told me that I took our baby and I left🤗 I got my fine Arts associate degree and I got a 2 bedroom apartment and my daughter has her own room and she loves it.🤗 I have a nice apartment and my daughter graduated from high school with Honor's and got a scholarship.🤗 😇Life is Good thank God I left as soon as my daughter was born 😇
Laura Nelida - In most states he would have been ordered to pay child support based on minimum wage, even if he wasn’t employed. Not being employed is not a sufficient excuse to not be responsible for the child. You should have requested support be ordered by the court.
That was far enough they were willing to pay all the bills and food . I guess like all Mother she want to be a owner of a slave you divorced your husband you should only be paying for his children but yet the courts figure what you should be paying and then add that into what he should be paying and then here is the l lump sum you just want to be a slave owner
Day care food whipes. Formula diapers clothes. But day care it self for a month. U could spend 800+ a month depending on how much theybwant how often child id there ect
S- W . Your absolutely right no child cost $800 per month however you must understand that when your not the one paying the $800 per month for some odd reason it makes all the sense in the world
My child's father and I agreed on $675 out of court based on our income and health insurance. We had joint custody and when our son went to his father during the summer, I didn't request the $675. His father decided he wanted full custody and took me to court. The court decided we'll stick with joint custody, our son would live with me and they increased the child support to $885. All mothers aren't greedy. I even had to spend 10k for a lawyer.
My husband is trying to get his child support reduced as he is no longer making the same amount as he was when CS was originally calculated. He owns a failing restaurant and is currently working 4 jobs to make his payments. He is on time. But a lawyer has told me that he :set a precedent" that he can make that much money. But he was working 70 hours a week to make that salary.
You should be ashamed of yourself you should be out working taking care of your child because you wanted them the court gave you the children because they need to tax a man on his earnings it is not a law it’s an excise tax on earnings women are told by lawyers and judges and friends of the court that child support is a law it’s not a law according to what you think it’s an excise tax on disposable earnings and they even get that wrong under the fair debt protection act You wanted the children you took full responsibility of your children of course you’re not being involved in your bedroom making yet you’re running to the court and crying for help give the kids to the father you’ should be ashamed of yourself. You want the child but can’t take care of them
@@garywilliamowski6814 Since she said husband, not ex-husband.…I am assuming it's her current husband paying support on his children from another relationship.
"Although state participation in Social Security Act itself is mandatory, participation by state in the IV-D program is VOLUNTARILY " Wehunt v. Ledbetter
Of course, it’s not real court. But if it was, the wife could have pled her case, but he didn’t cop out completely. One has the right to change employment and he was still paying reasonable child support plus health care. To lock someone into a job for 18 years is hardly fair. In two years his towing company could be raking it in. Bet Mrs. White would be there then!
Don't that mean a warrant will be issued on the child support issue I have no clue but my understanding law in general when ever you are served and you don't show up to court that automatically put a warrant out for your arrest please inform me
Clarence Swope Thank you for your question! In criminal court or if this were an enforcement case (non-payment of child support and ordered to appear in court), yes a warrant would be issued.
