Child Support Evidence Concerns

Summary

If you believe a judge is ignoring evidence in a child support case, you can file a motion for reconsideration or appeal the decision. In Illinois, child support is determined by both parents income and the childs needs. If you suspect hidden income, present evidence to the court. If a third party is involved, such as a girlfriend receiving funds, you may file a Motion to Compel for third-party bank records. Consider consulting with an attorney for guidance on filing motions and understanding relevant statutes like Illinois Compiled Statutes 750 ILCS 5/505 and Illinois Supreme Court Rule 214.

I understand what is based on and what’s based off I am talking about direct evidence now I consider bank statements as direct evidence which clearly show that over $*,* went to the girlfriend from the noncustodial parents bank account plus $*,* cashiers check no over $*,* plus $*,* plus a townhouse that he purchased under her name and gave the down payment twice I would say that’s that meaning evidence so if when I filed my motion for the judge to order the non-custodial parent to provide his girlfriend‘s bank statements where his statement show that all his money is being transferred and this judge sees all that and ignores it meaning she is well aware that all the money is going to the girlfriend while there’s three children involved and just decides to ignore it I don’t care about this and that this is what I care about this judge was handed overwhelming documented direct evidence

Now here what is even more concerned I filed a motion to compel the respondent to provide the girlfriends bank statements to the judge the judge told me that that’s not the right name or title for it she told me to rename it and resubmit it what is exactly what I did this was over a month ago on October *, * I mentioned that motion to the judge again the judge replied that motion is not up for discussion yet so I let it go today we had a status call nothing to do with the girlfriends bank records motion that I filed completely different status call today when we were almost done I’ll again reminded the judge about the motion for the girlfriends records I was shocked when I heard the judges response she clearly stated I denied that motion along time ago I already denied it and I replied back to her no you did not because none of the court orders that I have have that state it you told me on October *, * that it is not up for discussion yet how are you going to tell me that you are already denied that she is a third-party in this case it is wrong what you are doing you are allowing my children to be cheated out of the proper child support the judge state completely silent she didn’t utter a word and I did stay to the judge that I will be consulting with attorneys because it’s wrong what she’s doing
I understand your frustration with the situation. It sounds like you have provided substantial evidence, and you feel that the judge is not addressing it properly. Here are some steps you can consider:
- File a motion for reconsideration in Cook County, Illinois.
- Submit a formal complaint against the judge.
- Appeal the decision to a higher court.
Would you like more details on how to file a motion for reconsideration?
No my other question is and I just want a simple answer yes or no everything I’ve stated about the amount and direct evidence I have provided to the child support charge showing all the transfers to the girlfriend the amount that totaled over $*,* I think any other child support judge would immediately grant that motion for the girlfriends bank records but this judge doesn’t seem interested which is odd it is odd so I just want to know yes or no when is that type of situation and that much evidence direct evidence there’s no denying the evidence is direct proof her name when he sells her the payments it’s her name who is going to that is direct evidence plus the cashiers check it’s made out to the girlfriends first and last name is on it that is direct evidence of where the money is going because it’s not coming to his children does that not make the girlfriend a third party in this child support case for reasons that the non-custodial parents bank statements directly show money being transferred to her the amount of money to cashiers check the property purchase is under her name and her *-year-old sons name while the down payment came out of the noncustodial parents pocket and he’s the one paying all the bills and paying her mortgage does this not make the girlfriend a third party in this case for concealing money from my children because it is a child support case for child support payments retro active child support payments and educational expenses I just want to know yes or no
Yes.
OK so your answer is yes and makes the girlfriend a third-party so what do I file what do I title it what are the statute laws that need to be stated when it comes to this type of situation going after someone that is a third-party
To address your situation, you can consider filing a “Motion to Compel” to obtain the girlfriend's bank records. Here are some points to include:
- Title: Motion to Compel Production of Third-Party Bank Records
- Relevant Statutes:
- Illinois Compiled Statutes * ILCS */* (Child Support Guidelines)
- Illinois Supreme Court Rule * (Discovery of Documents)
- Include detailed evidence and request specific documents.
