    Post-Trial Relief - a.k.a. judge messed up in ruling

    Thanks, heard from the Court's self help folks that there is no specific form for it- just make your own like you guys said. My attorney said it would take 6hrs to do this, meaning if I was awarded what I asked for, I would just break even so that's a no.

    Post-Trial Relief - a.k.a. judge messed up in ruling

    In a hearing over child support arrears going back over a decade, the judge said 'no' to interest on very old arrears due to laches (I wasn't trying to collect at the time and lots of time has past so interest is forfeit) and said interest would start accruing on the amount he said was owed as...

    Was awarded attorney's fees but judge says they're not reasonable

    Ex lied under oath and avoided contempt, now what?

    zddoodah, thank you for your response! I guess I am grateful that I wasn't able to provide sworn testimony on this. Had the judge let me speak, I would be on the record saying it is child support. As is, there is no such record, only his assertion that it is not and child support arrears...

    Ex lied under oath and avoided contempt, now what?

    The separation agreement is incorporated into the divorce decree and any violation of it is grounds for contempt. He has already been jailed for past violations of it. So the court accepted his bs that his payments were for past debts, not support. Now when I received these payments, I was...

    Ex lied under oath and avoided contempt, now what?

    In my separation agreement with my ex, he agreed to pay me back for a couple things by a certain date. He did not and I filed contempt charges. At the hearing he said that checks/money orders he had sent me were to cover these debts and that the debts had been satisfied so the contempt charges...
