The stronger way to do that is to file a petition with the court that ordered the child support and ask for the judge to ORDER... Read more »
I was served back in February and the other parties paystubs are from December 2019 and January 2020 are those still valid? What happens if I can’t get help filling out the paperwork and submit it to the court before my court date which is about a week away?
You should have been served with the blank forms that you need to fill out for court. Use those forms. If you don't have them any more call up the secretary for the other side and ask her/him to email them to you ASAP again. If you are in the regular family law court, those forms would be...

The 1st mom wants child support even though she lives in a household with a new partner who she has lived with for over 8-9 years, has 3 more kids with, & only refuses to marry him so she can collect more child support from me. While I struggle... Read more »
Actually, if she were to marry him it might increase your support. New spouse's income is not disposable to payment of child support. The only thing a new spouse's income does is put mom's income in a new tax bracket so she nets less income for the child support calculations. The... Read more »

Basically she wants to add up the remaining amount of Support and divide that by the remaining months so it’s a consistent amount instead of it titrating down. What are your thoughts?
I think you are better off following the present order. When you start fooling with the order, like you are talking about, it could lead to future problems when it comes to paying your payments and in case of a subsequent modifications.

A restraining order for Domestic Violence. The temp order was granted , but the debt payment I requested for my tax return the judge says to wait til the hearing. Husband wants to give the money over now. Can I get in trouble for taking money against judges wishes?
I am guessing at some of this since I am not privy to the actual orders, but I am assuming that you asked, as part of your application for the TRO, that a tax refund be turned over to you. The judge probably indicated that he/she was not going to grant you that request on an emergency basis but... Read more »
