Hi All,
I'm really confused about how to procedurally handle this issue and I'm hoping someone can help.
Parties were never married but have a daughter. A couple years ago, they broke up and attended mediation to work out custody, parenting time and child support. Judge Critchley issued a form order that specified what the amounts would be and it was to be paid through probation. (That's the extent of the foggy knowledge I have about the procedure history in that regard. I have a copy of that order but of nothing leading up to it.)
The couple reconciled and resumed living together and paying bills from a joint account again, etc. In February 2013, boyfriend asked girlfriend to contact probation and have them stop garnishing his wages for child support since they are back together. Girlfriend does it. Judge Critchley issued another form order. He said that since the parties reconciled, probation should stop garnishing the wages, any arrears should be vacated and the case is "dismissed."
Two months later, in April 2013, boyfriend leaves girlfriend - this time for good. She has tried to get him to voluntarily resume his support payments in some fashion, contribute to work-related childcare, etc. but he's refused to cooperate and won't pay anything. He's ignored 2 letters from me. So it's time to go to court.
So my question is, WHAT am I filing? No matter what I look at in my research, in doesn't seem to fit the bill. A brand new FD Complaint? A Motion to Modify? A Motion to Reinstate? With the newer FD procedures about Motions (or lack thereof), I am afraid of filing the wrong thing in the wrong format considering the fairly unique facts of this case.
Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
