Legal Question in Family Law in California

order to show cause; child support

My ex-wife and I agreed to increase the child support amount I send her. Her attorney set up the paperwork and sent it to me. Due to unseen circumstances, I was unable to get a notary as a witness to sign the documents witin about a week. I called her attorney and told him I would try to get it signed the next day and send it.This last weekend i received a message from her attorney stating that I lied to him and he had filed an order against me and was going to charge me $300.00 for a fee. My ex and I had previously agreed on the terms, and he was aware of this fact.Is this legal? It sure doesn't seem ethical. Her attorney is in California. I am in Mississippi.

Re: order to show cause; child support

You should consult with an attorney to check out his statements. Additionally it is helpful for self help individuals to contact the family law facilitator in the county that has the case.

As always, please contact a qualified attorney prior to taking any legal action.

Good luck,
