So, who has something nice to say?

Happy Friday the 13th- Michael Myers

BTW, Michael Myers is ... associated with Halloween. Jason Voorhees is from Friday the 13th. And in case you didn't see it yesterday, CS can be retro'd to the date of separation - it was the first thing the did to my buddy in his divorce. Family court judges can do whatever they want - my buddy's uncle the ex family court judge has said so in so many words.

He wasn't supporting his ? From the day he left? WHy did that not occur to him to keep records of that?

I don't know if he was or wasn't. What I do know was that he came home one day to find the doors locked (with a different key) and a restraining order (bogus); basiy he was cut off from everything. His entire world was turned upside down, so it may not have occurred to him. Or, like me, he waited to find out when in the process he was supposed to pay (in bitter divorces, not much point in volunteering anything; it doesn't help and would just end up costing you more). And, of course, now you have the additional expense of an attorney. But this wasn't the point of my post to MO2 - he claimed that CS couldn't be retro'd to any time before an order from the court was in place. The facts say otherwise.

Generally they will only go back to the date of filing. I wonder if your friends ex filed the same day she changed the locks and got the restraining order??? Probably. There are always exceptions to every rule, so it may have happened the way you say, but I would be curious to find out.

I will check with him.

Please let us know as this would be valuable information to many folks who go through it.

OK, just got off the phone with my buddy. She filed and then had him evicted 2 weeks later. During those two weeks, his paycheck went into the joint account and he continued to pay the bills. Later, in court, the judge made the CS retro to the date she filed (even though he was still there and paying the bills), and gave his ex all of the money in the joint account, he was denied access to all of his property still in her possession (including his car and clothes), and it took him years to get any of it back. So, family court can retro to the date of filing; at least according to the evidence I have.

That means someone could claim seperation months before filing. A judge can't order cs if there isn't something filed. I stand by my statement. The dudes wife had eveyting filed at once.

No, support wasn't discussed until weeks after he moved out. There was no amount set until the first court date. The judge retro'd the CS and alimony back to when she first filed for divorce. I still stand by my statement (and my buddy's uncle's, the family court judge, statement) - family court judges can do whatever they want.

I hope everyone has a nice day and a great fall weekend

I hope you wake the fuck UP And realize, when you whine and cry about how crummy your absent kid's father is, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE YOUR CHILDREN TAKEN AWAY. Most likely YOU bear some responsibility for makin' with the creep. BUT YOU STILL HAVE YOUR CHILDREN, NO ONE TOOK THEM AWAY FROM YOU AND FORCED YOU TO PAY FOR THAT PRIVELEGE. So you don't understand that pain, and don't say you do...Idiot !

Looks like the psychopath is awake from his nap

How does your son feel living away from his sister? How about her too? How are they supposed to build a relationship together that will survive into adulthood?

ha ha, while you are a bitter fuck with no kids and no life I have my childrens love every day sucks to be you you deserve whatyou got... nothing

Their ya go livetogive I rest my case.The only thing good about this place is it lets ya kill some time. thats it.

Then why are YOU here again? People who knock the forum, yet insist on sticking around are pretty sad.

You have to accept all posters on a public forum. Learn to ignore the ones you don't like or confront them personally. No use talking smack about others behind their back.

Behind their back?? Ummm excuse me, but I post my opinions, therefore, I am not talking about anyone "Behind their back"

I do so everbody listen closely. I'll yell it out at the top of my lungs. Let me know if you get the message.

I know exactly what you're hollering about. BS!!!!

no, its NO BS LOL

Who are you?

I love that song
