Bay County Friend Of The Court employees call payers dead beats to cover their own ineptness at their jobs Ripoff Bay City Michigan

My husband and I have been waiting for support review from bay county for almost 4 years now. They have said the same thing to us. They have no record of us ever filing a review and no record of us asking for a review. Even though our case is a "well known" case in Bay county. I have written so many letters to FOC and have called constantly over the years. I have been told that we needed a lawyer (not true) to our file is too large to sort through. In fact about 6 months ago we received notice out of no where that we were behind by several thousand dollars. When we called to see what happened they said somehow they found on order from last year that was never entered that was raising the support even though my husband was making less than half of what he made from the original order. We received a letter from FOC stating they were apprehensive about the order due to the fact NO ONE INCLUDING EITHER lawyer new where this new order came from.
We recently went into court again for this last week and the judge said no proof so it will not be corrected.
This is complete bull and we tend to fight it, however this is not a small amount of money we are talking about.
We have estimated overpayment according to FOC guidelines to be over $30,000. Now tell me, if this was my husband behind on support he would be jailed .
FOC messed our case up, now I see we are not alone.
We have been living off my income alone for nearly 4 years. we should be paying an estimated $250 per month and we pay $1200 per month while my husband is on disability.
They have ruined us financially, I completely agree with supporting your children. I dont believe that $1200 for one child is right, especially when your income is less than $1500 per month

Can't you file for visitation in COURT? Why do you file for visitation rights via a state agency office? They do lose paperwork all the time, (or so they say) and they make you jump through more hoops to get no results. You can spend your lifetime filing what THEY tell you to file, thinking your case is getting somewhere only to find out months later you have to start all over again.

My advice- get a lawyer. If you cannot do that, go down to (don't call they will just pass the buck) the COURT house, and petition for visitation rights. (the father has to do this, or you can pick up the forms and he can fill them out if he cannot get out of bed. However, they may have to be notorized which will require his presence. Also, his presence will be needed at any and all court hearings reguarding visitation.)

I recently was dealing with a matter in court. I appeared to the clerk, asked all the quesions my attorney told me to, and STILL they did not help me. (they acted lost, and confused) I then went out to the hall called my attorney SHE immediately called the court house, and within 20 minutes it was resolved. You cannot sit on the sidelines, you have to be in the middle of the battle, hopefully with someone educated on laws, and how things work, what to file, ect. on your side.

One more note: If you put this report in dead beat dad's or mom's on this site instead of child protective services, you will possibly get more feedback.

Good luck-
