Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Ohio

My Question is...I have been divorced for 10 years and I was ordered to pay 60% "work-related" day care. My ex has only worked probably a total of 5 years during that time and that is stretching it. I had asked the day care to provide me receipts and also an attendance roster. They did neither, and my ex has not provided me with a work history to show when she was actually employed. As I have been trying to get a definate answer on those issues the day care sent my "suppossed" balance to a credit collection agency. They tried to have my wages garnished through the court and I sent a response to the clerk of courts stating I could not confirm or deny the debt as it stood however I feel it to be inaccurate. That was almost a year ago. The collection agency is trying again I got what looked like a printout that stated the court is looking to finalize whether this is a debt that needs to be paid or not under trial 42 (e) (not sure what that means) So my question is do I need to be present to that because it states nothing about me, do I need a lawyer to get the above info together, and do I have a case to plea? I know that I owe something but I have no real clue of what it is and I am very discouraged.

You need a lawyer to sort this out because it requires an analysis of your court documents and the specific facts of your case.
