David has been a member of NCFC for four years. He and his children's mother had met at work where they had similar jobs for similar pay. They had gotten married and had a daughter. The mother got tired of being married and filed for divorce. David was stabbed by his children's mother in one incident. He tried to get a PFA (Protection from Abuse) order against her, but the Court denied him the PFA.
The mother got custody and David got "every other weekend" partial custody.
The initial support order included child support, spousal support and daycare. However, when the decree in divorce was granted, a support hearing was scheduled to eliminate the spousal support and set a child support amount.
The Court mistakenly issued an order of court that stopped his wage attachment order for some unknown reason. Mother then filed to modify the support and find David in contempt.
The hearing officer did not find David in contempt but did set a high support order, with childcare expenses (even though mom did not pay for any child care) and a high arrearage make-up amount. The Court also failed once more to set mom's earning capacity commensurate with her skills.
David filed exceptions. The judge heard them and the judge remanded the entire support hearing back to the hearing officer.
The remand hearing was postponed once because mom was "sick". Two months later the hearing was held. Mother was assigned an earning capacity commensurate with her skills about four times what the court set at the previous hearing. The daycare expenses were eliminated until mother could prove she was purchasing daycare and that she proved that she attempted to contact David to watch the kids, lowered the support, eliminated the arrears, set a credit to David and made everything retroactive to mom's initial modification filing date twelve months earlier.
