Legal Question
Child Support Amount
I have been challenging law support amount for two years.
I am self-employed. After an initial six-month period ''Under
Advisement'' the judge awarded my ex 21% of my adjusted gross
for one child. This judge included no findings of fact/con-
clusions of law, bench opinion,etc. Nothing. May 15, 2003
the judge granted myself, after considerable legal expense,
a reconsiderration.
I need only 40 minutes in front of the judge to answer
essentially the same questions by the same attorney as I answered 18 months ago. I have counseled with a C.P.A. and
have been ready and waiting for almost a year. I have set
three court dates but each time opposing counsel is granted
a continuation, presumably to formulate the same questions
he asked me 18 months ago in front of this very same judge.
HOW do I get my 40 minutes to explain my schedule C? Will
the judge ever consider my considerable legal expense from
cancelled dates and quit allowing opposing counsel to play
games?
