My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Michigan
Hi Everyone,
I recently went through an extremely frustrating experience with a friend of the court incorrectly calculating income and health insurance after my daughter's mother requested a child support review. I went through the initial intake and referee hearing with my income and health insurance being calculated incorrectly. I have 5 kids from different relationships in different counties and I have a pretty extensive knowledge of the child support formula. This is the first time I have had a friend of the court incorrectly apply the child support formula. I hired an attorney and went to a judicial hearing with all of my information regarding the incorrect calculations. I also had a letter from the state of Michigan that explained in detail how the local friend of the court had incorrectly calculated my income and health insurance due to incorrect application of the child support formula. Its pretty sad that I have more knowledge of the child support formula than this specific friend of the court and the attorney I hired. The judge agreed that the referee calculations were incorrect and agreed to the changes we were requesting which would result in an approximate $50 a week reduction in child support. The following is what I am currently having an issue with:
At the conclusion of the hearing the judge handed my lawyer a file folder and said, "You have time to figure this out, send it to the friend of the court for re-calculation when you're done.". After a month with no paperwork showing the changes agreed to by the judge I contacted my lawyer. He said that he had given the file to his secretary and she had some questions before they could submit the paperwork to fix the child support. His secretary was out of the office that day and I would need to call the next day to see what questions she had. I called the next day and spoke with his secretary. She had no clue what I was talking about and didn't even know I had a judicial hearing. The last thing she remembered was that I had a referee hearing. She said she would talk to my attorney and see if she could figure it out. I have been calling once every week since and I can't get in touch with my attorney. One week he was out with the flu, the next he was in trial all week and she wouldn't be able to talk to him. Every time I call I get a run around with no answers. It is now going on 2 months since the judicial hearing. I live pay check to pay check supporting my children and this extra $200 a month is hurting me financially. I have no idea what to do at this point. I've paid $3,200 to an attorney to have this issue resolved with nothing being done. What options do I have at this point? I've reached out to the friend of the court but there is nothing they can do until my attorney files the paperwork. Thank you!!!

Modification of Support: Judge Agreed to Child Support Modification but Lawyer Won't File Paperwork
