Any matches found are returned to the appropriate States for processing. (See also: Federal Case Registry; IV-D Case; Non-IV-D Order)

Question: TX Child Support Revisement served to me-custodial parent. He made False Allegations & trying to stop paying!!? Hello everyone, Ok, in Feb 09' my sons father ( we were never married ) & I settled at mediation after I filed for child support at Attorney General office -Texas. The order gave him visitation rights for every other weekend. he worked offshore for many weeks to months at a time and rarely saw him living 5 miles apart. I as custodial parent had No Geographical Restrictions. So, when I was offered a job in Florida, I leaped with faith and moved with my son. I abided by all the instructions given by Attorney Generals office, changing employer info & changed of residence info to state case registry and attorney general office. I sent him a certified letter stating that I was moving to Florida, in which he received prior to me knowing my actual physical address since i was unsure if I got the place I was looking into. So the certified letter just said the city & states I was moving to. Yet, once it was confirmed I got the place I wrote it down for him, along with my employer, on a piece of paper while I went to his home to let him visit with my son. Now he has used that against me stating that I never gave him the address of where I was living. Which is false because he knows the address, my employer address and telephone #, and my sons daycare info.It was a quick move so I could give much notice but I did as much as I could with the time allowed. He is claiming that he doesnt know if I carry insurance for our son since he is ordered to pay for the insurance, yet I gave him the original insurance card & I use an old issued one. He is throwing so many allegations, from me being intimate with someone else, to talking bad about him in front of our son, to consuming alchohol & using drugs. I am barely getting settled in Florida & have a 3 year old, how can I date? Either way we arent together, so I can never move on & get involved in a relationship? I have no reason to talk bad about him in front of my son, since he is never around nor calls so I have nothing to say about him! The big whoop is that do not even drink! I There is so much more but my main concern is that I opened a case in Florida for child support & it is still in the process. State of Tx recommended I opened a case in Florida since I resided there so if we had to go to court he would have to go to Florida versus me going to Texas. Since he complained about the drive and never offered to go to Florida, I came to visit family for my sons birthday and allowed my son to stay the night with his father since we were in town & he hadn't seen him. When I go to retrieve him, that is when they give me these legal forms for modification of our child support order! It hurst because I was trying to be kind and let my son see his father because i want him so much to be a part of my sons life since I did not have my father in mine. Yet, he does this. He is selfish and a very sneaky con, has a way withwords and I have always been threatened by him since he financially is set, he makes 4 times as much as me yet is never in town, works offshore months at a time! He can afford an attorney, I cannot. Is there court appointed attorney for revisements and modifications such as these? How long can I delay this since I live out of town & just started a new job in Florida ( a big part of the reason why I moved) and I cannot risk taking off work. How can I defend myself? What should I do to proove these allegations are false? Since it is my word against his & he has $$ for a lawyer. He wants to make me move back to his county, if not make me pay for the visitation trips, which HE is suppose to in our original order.How can I avoid both Geographical restrictions on myself & paying for his visit. He also is trying to stop or decrease child support, which just was issued 10 months ago! He makes $5000 monthly salary! He has 3 vehicles he owns! Dirt bikes, 2 laptops, iphone & garage full of toys for himself! Yet, he cannot send his own 99.99% son funds for his childcare. How can I prevent him from decreasing and or stopping the support payments? Is it standard for them to issue. He is also asking that I pay him child support?? My son lives with me? Why are they ordering I pay child support? I am so confused with all this and do not know my legal rights. I financially cannot afford an attorney. What is standard and protocol for a child support revisement? What chances are ther that he can get away with these false statements? I am morally too kind hearted and gullable and just do not want to believe someone could be so mean. How do I protect myself and my son! I do not want to risk his father getting custody because of his word against mine & him being more financially stable than me. Please help & THANKS SOOOO MUCH for your time. Take Care & God Bless!

Answer: His lawyer is practicing the slash and burn approach. He is throwing everything at you in the vain hope that you will bend on something. How long have you lived in Florida? If you have lived in Florida for more than 6 months Texas no longer has jurisdiction over your case Florida does. They may be trying to get the dad to only pay the Florida child support guidelines, which is different from the texas guidelines. When is your court date? You can teleconference in, that is legal, and once the judge finds that the custodial parent has moved to Florida they might just dismiss the Texas case, perhaps you should call and talk to the clerks office. They can tell you for sure if Texas even has jurisdiction over the case any more. As for custody, your ex does not have a stable home environment and is therefor not fit to be the custodial parent, so you have nothing to worry about with him taking custody. If you have primary custody of the child, and you make less money than him it is impossible for you to have to pay child support. Are you sure he gave you real court papers? I would contact his attorney, which he will have to pay for you talking with his attorney and ask him all these questions and if there even is a court date. None of this seems right to me. E-mail me if you need anything else.
