Thank you so much @justblue, and @Zigner for your help and opinions. I know getting child support from the father seems a little hopeless in my case. Also much appreciate @leslie82 for sharing your experience. Hope you can raise your kid well even without the father's support. Just work hard and...
I'd like to update my case. Finally the California DCSS caught him and served him. In July during the court hearing he claimed that California court has no jurisdiction over him as he moved to Nevada and submitted his Nevada driver license to the court. The judge said she didn't receive such a...
Thanks a lot, Zigner! I really appreciate your help and thoughts!!
Hum, sounds like we can't do anything now. You know DCSS even called him but he refused to provide any information. Even he is home while the sender knocks on his door, he can refuse to open the door; or he opens the door, but...
Thanks a lot, Red Kayak!!
Can I file a motion for a substitute service based upon an affidavit from the process server of inability to make service? This may let the server leave the documents with his home, or his place of work. I might also ask for the last resort, service by publication...
It's so long that I haven't update my case. It's a long story. I started a whole new case with Dept. of Child Support Services (DCSS) in California. At first they issued an order to enforce my existing Chinese child support order and then would modify it. But the father kept contacting them...
army judge, I'd like to report the progress of my case. I applied a fresh case with Michigan. The worker at child support suggested me file in California as the father has nothing related to Michigan state (He never lived here or visited the child here). So I filed a brand new case in California...
Thank you so much "army judge" for your great help. I'll file in the father's state to establish support order. Sorry for one more question. Since I'll ask for a new support order, should I mention the previous foreign order? I guess I have to mention that. If so, will the court treat my...
Thanks for your help. I'm truthful. I mentioned what I have done in my very beginning question, only not mentioning where I applied to child support application or which court I asked for help.
Based on all suggestions from so many kind people here, I know I should start a whole new case, but...
Here is more info about my application. I submitted child support application to MDHHS-Child Support, then they forwarded it to my local prosecuting attorney, and finally it was transferred to the local court, "the Friend of the Court (FOC)". FOC sent my case to register and modify the Chinese...
Sounds like I have to start a fresh child support proceeding. Since family law matters are handled at the state level, my case must be done in the state the father lives to get personal jurisdiction over him. On the other hand, my child and I have lived in Michigan almost one year. I'm in...
"army judge", thank you so much for those detailed questions. He owns 2 houses (all mortgage has been paid off). He claimed he has no job (but I know he's working for a company). Even no job, with 2 properties, I assume he should have money to pay child support. Is my assumption here correct...
