Q: I entered a mediated post judgment settlement agreement with the mother 6 months ago. how do i get it approved by court?
I had a significant change in income earlier this year when I separated from the military. I hired an attorney who set me up for mediation. The mother and I agreed on a new parenting plan and support agreement. My attorney told me all he had to do was get the new agreement adopted by a judge and everything would be done. He did not do this. I cannot get in contact with him. Now I have been receiving letters that I have not been paying the right amount of child support and that my drivers licences will be suspended and my tax return will be withheld. Where do I go or send my new agreement to get adopted so everything reflects the new amount of child support?
A: You need to file your agreement with the clerk of court where your current order is from. See if they have a self help desk.
