Q: I had a referee hearing, then went in front of judge.
We had a referee hearing about me receiving child support. Mother didn't show, her address wasn't updated at the court house. So petion was sent to wrong address. She filed an objection and we went to a court hearing. The Judge ruled for us to go back to referee hearing. Why would we do this.
A:
Probably because there never really was a referee's hearing to establish a support number in the first place -- where both parties were present and had input. So the Judge is sending it back so that can happen.
Best of luck to you.
