So let him file. He didn't show up last time. He might not show up again. If he does show up and can't show any change in income, then I doubt they'll change the amount. How did you get $389 based on a minimum wage job? My lawyer figured out what it would be based on a minimum wage 40 hour work week since my ex wasn't working (and still isn't and only had a job for two months last year) and it came out to $86 a month.

You aren't going to "see things for yourself" in regards to abuse against his partners and so on. You really think he'll beat up a girlfriend in front of you? You can take him to court to modify if you think it needs done.

Get used to this with child support. My ex is thousands behind in support for all of his kids. Almost to $1000 for our daughter. I've gotten $275 out of him in the last year. He's also supposed to do half daycare, half unreimbursed medical and hasn't. I don't expect it. I should've just waived it.
I'm making more than minimum wage, but they counted daycare as well, into that amount. I'm not sure how the FOC and the district attorney calculated it. His income is based off of minimum wage.

I was referring to his residence and all the things she alleged, as far as providing adequate food and shelter for daughter during his visits.

Oh definitely not depending on child support and used to it already. He hasn't done anything at all, but expects me to send everything with her for his visits. I know he isn't going to pay it. He is the one that keeps trying to file something in court, and it is frustrating because I'm the one that has to take off from my paying job to deal with him.

Question: if I have a lawyer, do I still have to show or can the lawyer appear on my behalf?
