Q: How can a state have 2 different dockets cases for the same child support? (Same mom, child and dad).
1982 (Michigan) When the divorce was final there was no order of support. In 1986 the mom put in for uresa initiating, & the state the dad was in gave an order of support. (North Carolina) later the dad moved to another state. (IL) Never heard anything from either states til 94 when there was a court hearing & dad did a phone call & mom never showed. The mom wrote a letter in 91 asking to stop current support & waive arrears. Taxes were taken in 2003 but refunded back a month later to dad. Years went on & nothing. Dad moved again (KY) In 2009 & 2010 taxes were offset & kept. Sept 2019 an income withholding notice with Michigan social security as employer.
Have been trying to get the orders, but Michigan Circuit court says they only have the uresa initiating records & divorce. They say get the rest from Friend Of the Court Family Division, but when asked for the orders, judgement, letter the mom wrote the court, & everything else to do with both case dockets along with all payments
