Need advise, judge imposed more than I can do, I'm in contempt no matter what I do. Is the judge telling me something? At the point of giving up and calling it quits.

Jerry,
I am Tabitha White, Author of Child Support Federally Mandated. You can get a free copy of my book by sending me an e-mail at: ChildSupportFederallyMandated@hotmail.com
You are a prime example of what my book strives to do - create a system that is fair for all. If I were in your shoes I would contact an Attorney or Legal Aid if you have no financial means and ask for a modification of orders.
My personal child support case was in the Macomb County Friend of the Court. I can tell you in that court they like the fathers, especially those who are involved in their children's lives. See if you can get a change of venue? It is worth a shot. Don't give up though, never give up.
For the book I interviewed over 40,000 custodial and non-custodial parents all across the U.S. This was the biggest complaint I found - there was not 'one fair unified system' in place. I spoke with two construction co-workers, in Michigan. Keep in mind both men made the same amount of money and worked for the same company, both one child, one man paid $450 per month and the other paid $200. This is completely unfair! The problem parents told me, "Is the judges discretionary factor." There should be 'one' system in place for all of the U.S. to abide by, no deviations allowed. Just think of all of the hassles it would cut out. It would probably have taken care of your issue already. As it sounds like your ex is gouging you.
Divorce and custody matters are not fun, they ultimately wreak havoc on our once quiet lives. Pursue justice though, Jerry, never give up.
Respectfully, Tabitha White,

The example that you gave is misleading. There isn't enough information to determine if it's fair or not.
The one paying $200 just may have kids that don't require childcare. And the one paying $450 may have kids that require childcare. Childcare is an add-on to child support.
The one paying the $200 may have come to a below guidelines amount with the agreement of the other parent.
It also doesn't mention anything about health insurance, which can increase or decrease child support depending on who is providing it.
This book is probably like all of the other lower your child support propaganda. Not worth paying for. Because the courts are getting wise to the gimmicks that some people use to lower their income.

Jerry,
Dont give up yet. Do the best you can do. If you get brought back to court let them know you are doing all you can.

Keep fighting! I am in a bad situation myself and I am getting very frustrated. Read my posting in this forum called "Child support very high, ex owns business".

I was just reading this post and I have a question how do you see if you can get a change of venue? Would I be able to change from one county to another county? In my case I have moved from one county to another but my ex still lives in the county that our case went through. Does there have to be special reason in order to do this? FOC does nothing for me in this county but in the county I am in now WOW they are great.

I have a feeling that Jerry and the advertiser in this thread are baiting us, selling the book. The original poster didn't give nearly enough information, wehther it was child support or alimony or property settlement that he was not going to be able to do... or whether it was maybe child custody or parenting time or an order to bring the kid back to the mother at noon which is right in the middle of his work day. All we know is that the judge ordered him to do something he claims he can't do.
Suddenly, we have appearing on the scene a person who has a book about the subject that he wants to sell us all, helpfully explaining a situation where he is magically able to save the day if only we buy his book and read it.
For the original poster, if this was not bait just to help with selling the book, please give us a detail or two... if the court order you can't handle is to appear in court on a given day and you are scheduled to have your carpal tunnel surgery taht day or something, we can certainly help you get around that... if it's that you are ordered to pay $200 a month in child support and you don't think you can afford it because you're not working, we're going to have to tell you to get a job. Something... ANYTHING... but there are so many possibilities that we can't give you a clue how to solve your problem unless you give us a little information.
And neither can the slick salesperson who thought up this scheme to try to get us all to buy his book. He can't fix your problems or pretend to do so without any information about what the problem is...
The people on this site are here for free, the honest ones are not pointing the good members of the forum to thier website or tryign to get them to buy thier book or sell them forms for a do-it-yourself divorce. Be VERY suspicious of someone who spams a free support group in an effort to sell thier services.
If we were in an in -person support group, we'd be able to see the faces of sales-people who were showing up asking to speak to the group and give us a sales pitch... but online, we can't see that these people are not fellow members but really are slick salespeople. these sales pitches disguised as friendly forum member recommendations are dispicable!

Unlucky, please post a new thread. This is a very old thread, and I didn't realize that before my last post. The spammer who originated this thread left the forum the same day that they arrived.
And give details. Where are you, where do you want to be, how far along is your case and why do you want to move?
