I have been summoned to Court for a Child support motion?

Those are two different things. You will have to get a lawyer if you want to try and get her evaluated. Good luck it sounds like you could use it.
If you care about her as the mother of your children and really want her to get the help she needs I would talk to a lawyer.

I would say to ask your attorney about that. If she owes you support and the only reason she is wanting to have it lowered is because of her lifestyle then my all means i would say do it.

If the shoe were on the other foot she would look for ways to make you pay. Take under consideration the kids though. Are they in danger while they are with her? If so make that your first step to solve.

I do not believe in letting the woman off of paying child support just because she is "the mother". They can be just as "dead beat" as men can be.

OK - thanks for the updated info. I changed my answer.

If you need her money to support the children, then I would fight it. If you can support the children without her money - show up and object to the motion and put that money in a savings account.

Her bipolar condition and eating disorders have nothing to do with the child support. She gave birth to them - she can pay her fair share as well.

well bring up how much more she makes now. Im sure she is making more than she did at first.You will be only talking aabout what you are there for on that motion.The judge will stop you on anything else. So just deal with that for now.

you need to respond.. I take it that you have the child(ren).... but be on the look out if you gets her motion... make sure if she changes jobs that you modify the order... the other stuff is about her as a parent... that is totally separate and if you feel your children are in danger with her then I would contact a attorney

if i read this correctly she wants to be able to pay YOU less.......regardless of her behavior it is ALL based on who earns what.............and if I am reading this right, it sounds like You have the children, again if this is so, just be flipping grateful they are not living with her period.

Also in some states EITHER side can apply for an adjustment every 2 or 3 years regardless............this is great when the old witch tries to get MORE and he judge looks at who has what and cuts her child support......lol lol

you have to go and see about the motion at hand first, then you can file motions of your own

WHATTTTTTTTTT ??????? Where did the deadbeat dad part come in ?????????

Sorry I don't beleive they will order any mental illness exam since it has no bearing really on the motion. If she was asking for custody it might.

let me get this straight.....your ex wants the child support REDUCED? that fact alone should attest to her mental state.
and if she really wants it reduced, just call yourself one lucky son-of-a-gun, because most ex-wives want an increase.
okay, thanks for the clarification. one thing to consider is how bad do you want her in your children's lives and is it worth that money every month. if she already is not seeing them and you don't absolutely need the money, you might have her rights terminated. sometimes it is worth it just to know she won't have access to the children.
and forgive me for misunderstanding.

She needs to be taken care of if she really has those problems but don't make it to where it is something between the two of you. You have children to consider and she is very sick. She needs help but not like that. If you don't want her around the children talk to her about signing her rights away so she won't have to pay child support at all.

It seems to me that the child support order only has to do with income. If she is paying you child support it is based entirely on her ability to earn income. As far as getting her evaluated, you should bring that up in regards to visitation as your concern for the child's safety when she is allowed to see them.

Best of luck

you think you can - but the two really have nothing to do with one another. I am assumming that she is wanting it reduced becasue you have the child/children, and if she isn't making the money that she was when the court issued that order (in Ohio I think you can have it reevaluated every 3 years), she has the right to ask it be reduced = doesn't mean it will happen she can just ask (and waste the $ on a lawyer instead of the kids). But I think you can have her evaluated do the the childrens safety in her care (Anorexia, Bulimia, abuse of laxatives, and her erratic behavior), but just becasue someone is "crazy" doesn't mean that don't have rights to their kids! Its a double edged sword, and I wish you luck! I know that men can be just as good parents as a women but I always wonder what is wrong with a women when the court gives the children to the father (9/10 they end up with the mother even if she is a dead beat - sad!!)

well you can go over to her house at night and beat her while shes sleeping and slip a bottle of liquor in her milk jug the day b4 court and ask for her liquor content to be cheked

lol i have a wild imagination!!!!

Do you mean reduced or increased? Her mental and physical problems have nothing to do with child support. If you have to go to court, I advise you to be prepared. It probably would behoove you to have legal representation. If you say it's too expensive, think about this and realize if you don't, you can end up losing and paying through the nose. The Attorney could file petition to postpone the hearing, until such time as he is fully prepared to handle the case properly and thoroughly. Hopefully, you are paying your fair share of support and not trying to get out of helping.

The plan of action that would likely result in the best outcome for the kids would be if you ignored this summons altogether. That way you'd end up in jail where it sounds like you belong anyway. Anyone that puts their personal finances ahead of their children deserves a cellmate called "Bubba" who is very, very lonely.

Go ahead and hear her out, she may think she's trying to help you. If you don't agree with lowering your child support, then take the money you would have spent and put it into a savings account for your child's college education.

I sugest you stop being a dead beat dad and pay the support you ow. And invest in some condoms or get your self fixed so you dont have to pay any more.
