I have some questions how to properly request that the judge take into consideration the noncustodial parents bank statements from * and * as I initially filed for child support through the state department in Chicago Illinois Cook County on July *, * although it took them nine months to send out the pamphlet the court papers show my signature on April *, * The court file papers will also show the non-custodial parents whereabouts as unknown as he was evading being served until he was successfully found and served on September *, * and our first hearing being set for January *, * in February * to the states attorney request that he provide the * and * thank statements as I submitted a subpoena for his bank records and discovered a hidden account that I emailed to the states attorney on March *, * as the email shows this case has been deliberately dragged on as a non-custodial parent refused to comply with discovery repeatedly demanded the children’s DNA intentionally miss lead the court through his attorney as those statements provide his true income with beginning balances over $*,* ending balances over $*,* monthly spending between $*,* and $*,* that Are now all being hidden under his girlfriends name as his bank statements will clearly show all his money is being diverted to his girlfriend his monthly bank statements are correct lol with ending balance is anywhere from two dollars to * So what I want to know is how to straightforwardly and simply make this statement and request in my motion to compel his attendance
Hello Lula, you can request the judge to consider the noncustodial parent's bank statements in your motion by:
- Clearly stating your request at the beginning.
- Providing a timeline of events.
- Detailing efforts made to obtain the bank statements.
- Demonstrating how the bank statements are relevant to determining the noncustodial parent's true income.
- Requesting the court to compel his attendance.
Please consult with your attorney for specific wording.
I need an example so I can get an idea
Sure, here is an example of how you might frame it:
"Your Honor,
I, [Your Name], request that the Court consider the bank statements from * and * of [Noncustodial Parent's Name] as they provide a more accurate representation of his true income. These statements reveal significant balances and spending that are not reflected in the current child support calculation. I kindly request the court to compel his attendance for a proper assessment.
Thank you,
[Your Name]"
Please consult with an attorney to tailor this to your case.
But how would I phrase when I file for child support bank statements everything else the states attorney I need the full detail
You can phrase it like this: "I, Lula, initially filed for child support on July *, *. I request that the Court consider the * and * bank statements of the noncustodial parent. My attempts to subpoena these statements were met with evasion and non-compliance. I respectfully ask the Court to compel his attendance for proper assessment." Consult an attorney for precise wording.
No you’re not understanding me
I'm sorry for any confusion, Lula. Could you please clarify which part of your situation you'd like more specific advice on?
