Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

Court ordered judgement

My husband recently was awarded standard visitation of his daughter on Sept. 8th. He was told by the judge that his base child support is $244.19/month. He is suppose to give $32.02 a week to the mother until the $32.02 is taken out of his paycheck to make up the balance. The court order also states that if he is at LEAST 30 days behind in paying child support, he must provide ALL transportation. Well, he switched jobs on Oct, 2nd and DHS has been notified but has not taken the money out of his check yet. In the meantime he is still paying the mother the $32.02/week = $128.80 of the $244.19. The mother just told him tonight that he ''WILL and MUST provide ALL transportation

IMMEDIATELY as he has not been paying child support.'' Is this true when he is paying $128.80 of the $244.19, he's not 30 days behind is he?

Re: Court ordered judgement

That is somewhat of an unusual provision because it is subjective. Normally, court order provisions do not allow for one party to make a decision as to whether someone is in compliance. I suggest you document in writing your payment history via letter or email to the ex and note to her that she will be violating the court order if she does not participate in transportation exchange. If you need legal representation in the future and live in northeast Oklahoma, you can contact me about representation.
