Me again... I am wondering what a Magistrate is looking for when it comes to providing and proving residency.
I am trying to have Ohio registar a foreign order from Michigan on Child Support. The bio dad and I have been Ohio residents for a period of time even though he still held a Michigan Drivers License and uses an Ohio address. In Nov. 2006 he claimes to a Michigan resident but did not provide proof at that time. Just went back to court today for Proof of Residency on his half and he shows up with a copy of a renewed Michigan license with a change of address. (his b-day was the 25th of Jan.) And a rental agreement from a mobile home park in Michigan. In all of our correspondence with the both Michigan and Ohio court he provides his mothers Ohio address. We were just in Michigan court and they asked him of his address and he gave the Ohio address and today in Ohio court he said that he took residency at the first of the year but gave Michigan court the Ohio address instead of using the Michigan address. He claims that he moves around alot and that he just uses his mom's address as a mailing address. The Magistrate even stated that a resident address is where you live - not a mailing address.
What I am questioning - is that the proof that he gave today - does this actually show that he lives there?? He is trying to keep it in Michigan because of the lack of enforcement there.
Thanks for all that take the time.
