Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Motion to quash service of process

I received a notice of hearing from the attorney generals office for florida. I am not sure what it means. I filed for a child support modification because I am unemployed ant the state keeps threatening me. The notice say that is a ''Motion to Quash Service of Process''. I am not sure what that means but it sounds like they are trying to throw out my case because I didn't serve them?? I got a return receipt that they received it and my ex-wife as well. What can I do? Also, the states seems to have its own aggenda. My ex-wife has tried to help me but even then they go about their own thing. How can I get the state off my back? If I had millions I am sure they wouldn't bother me because I could pay a good attorney. This is why I hate the courts. They are not fair unless you have money.

Re: Motion to quash service of process

It seems they are trying to invalidate your service of the petition for modification. They should have stated on what grounds someplace in the documents. If you have become unemployed since the final decree, a modification action is the right thing to do. You may have goofed on a technical matter... I suggest you google the Florida Child Support Enforcement Bureau and give them a call about the situation. Make sure you are calm and pleasant when you make the call. Also, see what they state as a reason to quash service and try to fix the problem and go from there.
