BENCH WARRANT

Thu, 01-26-2006 - 7:17pm

Received notification of the following:

Show Cause is adjourned to:

March 28, 2006

AUTHORIZATION FOR BENCH WARRANT IS SET ASIDE.

Gives me no reason of why and he still hasn't made a payment.

Why waste our money to send me a notification to tell me he is getting away with EVERYTHING.

He can miss a court date and NOTHING happens!!!

I miss my light payment and NO LIGHTS but I still have to let our DD go with him.

Plus he ditched her for his weekday visit today -- HE HAD TO GO SHOPPING FOR A CHEAP CAR. He told our DD this.

NICE......No money for your DD and no money to pay for your truck that got REPO'd but you sure have money for his own selfish A**!

I know this is a stupid question but what exactly is a bench warrent? Since i have never dealt with anything like this before and haven't started the divorce process you I have no clue.

I am sorry that he can get away with that though. You would think as a parent their child would be their first priority in ever aspect. Is child support not automatically withheld from the persons wages in all states? When I spoke with my attorney she said that inthe state of Texas I won't have to worry about not getting it because it will be automatically comeout of his paycheck. Just curious.

My state of MI,

SHOW CAUSE HEARING --- you have to either pay your child support by this date or go to
court to pay what you can or if you can't pay anything you go in
front of the judge. Which they usually let them get away with
paying something more than likely not the full amount but some of
it.

BENCH WARRANT -- Is a warrant for that persons arrest. Because he did not go to
court for his SHOW CAUSE HEARING. It isn't like he didn't know
about it because we get these notices every month. Because he
doesn't pay. So if he would of been stopped by the police or been
somewhere that the police needed to question him and the ran his
name he would of been placed under arrest.

CHILD SUPPORT -- Would come out of his check automatically but he is claiming he is
SELF EMPLOYED. Tells me all the time he can't come to get our DD
becasue he has to work but he never sends any money our DD way. He
has another child that the tax payers of MI are paying for. When
both him and his transvestite looking GF are more than capable of
working and paying for their own child. But no - he doesn't pay
for our DD but I have to pay for our DD plus his (per say).

Thanks for explaining it all to me. :) It really sucks that he can do that. I think it would serve him right to get arrested. So are some states more forcable about getting the fathers to pay? My uncle was behind on his support at one time do to being unemployed and the state when did everything in there power to get it all. I know there were many years his entire income tax return when to his ex. Is that not an option in your case? Sorry for all the questions. I really do hope something changes and starts having to be more financiaally responsible for your dd. ~Hugs!~
