The Black Knight II

My thoughts on the support are pretty basic. Child support is really spelled out in most states and should come off the top before anything else. Usually the state will have guidelines and a formula to determine child support. I would seek an immediate temporary order for child support. You could get $160.00 per week and that may be on the low side. I would ask your attorney to file for temporary orders to seek child support from smokie. The states generally won't screw the children and frown on that from anyone. Again, go on the offensive. If you file for a temporary child support order you may find smokie will try to get this settled real quickly. It should not cost you but a couple hundred dollars to get you attorney to file for a temporary child support order with the court. I would ask in it that it be done through the state getting the money from his employer and then sending it to you. This way you don't have to deal with him. The state will just take the money from his check and he can't stop it. Push back hard. He will get the idea pretty quick and run.
