Q: My ex husband filed a request that I pay him support. He lied and claims our children live with him. I have a custody.
I showed the mediator our most recent custody order which he replied this was 2015. It is our most recent order. I showed other documents that our kids live with me. How is the support mediator supposed to determine who our kids live with when I say they reside with me and he claims they live with him?
A: I suggest that you obtain a copy of the custody docket, which should show that the most current order is the one from 2015. Then gather up documentation that tends to show that the children reside with you - school records, doctor's records, extracurricular activities rosters, etc. Anything that shows the children's address as yours. You would probably do well consulting with an experienced family law attorney as well.
A: Time for you to consult an attorney. Much depends on what your husband had but if it was forged or otherwise wrong there may be other things you can get out of his move.
