Conn. Court Ruling Makes It Easier to Increase Child Support Payments

June 25, 2016 admin

Decision makes it easier for former spouses to claim higher payments

THOMAS SCHEFFEY, The Connecticut Law Tribune

The divorce court battles of the rich have recently been spreading alarm among family lawyers for the poor.

It began with the 2014 alimony case of Dan v. Dan, in which the state Supreme Court held that a sharp increase in an ex-husband’s income, by itself, was not grounds for increasing alimony, and that the ex-wife would have to show some special need.

The controversy increased in 2015 when the Connecticut Appellate Court applied the Dan alimony precedent to Hebron lawyer Maria McKeon’s bid for increased child support for her three children, implying that the children, too, would have to demonstrate some special need.

McKeon’s former husband, William Lennon, is a vice president at General Dynamics’ electric boat division in Groton. McKeon, often representing herself, contended that Lennon’s income, based on salary, bonus and exercised stock options, had grown to $625,361 by 2011. But in 2015, the Appellate Court upheld a lower court ruling that McKeon had not proved a substantial change in circumstances warranting modification of child support payments.

Lawyers for poor children around the state were up in arms. They were afraid that child support-paying spouses – at all income levels—who had rising incomes could avoid sharing with their children by simply invoking Dan, thereby depriving children of millions of dollars in support that was their legal due.

How to Win a Custody Battle

February 9, 2016 admin

Take action first. If the mother of your child takes you to court, then you will have a problem. When a father takes the mother of the child to court, it shows the court that you really want to be in your child’s life and want to take action.

2. Pay child support. Even if it’s not ordered into court yet, no matter what. Give something every month and do not give cash, write a check, money order, etc.

3. Avoid arguing with the other parent. This only makes things worse and it will start giving your child mixed emotions.

4. Call the police. If at any time the other parent argues with you, just walk out and call the police. “Do not argue back”, because it can be put into a police report and it can be used against you in court.

5. Spend as much quality time with the children as possible. Take them to activities them will enjoy every time you are with them and document the activities with photos. Do they enjoy swimming, face painting and walks in the woods?

6. Great–do that and more with them and have the photos to prove it. Don’t have time to take them somewhere special? No problem–make a game of whatever you are doing with them form shopping at the local Publix to raking leaves. Make it fun for the kids and get photos of the good times to back it up.

7. Be present. Make sure you attend as many teacher conferences, doctors appointments and extracurricular activities as you can and be sure to know the names of their teachers, doctors, friends, coaches and babysitters.

8. Keep track of everything. This is very important, keep track everyday when you see/don’t see your child. It will also help you in the long run. Do not tell the other parent that you are keeping track.

Record each and every time the other parent breaches the current custody agreement. Record every omission, such as, late pickup/returning, didn’t return child’s things, didn’t pay math tutor, no show at parent-teacher conference, etc.
Keep a detailed record of all payments. This includes all child support payments and other financial obligations governed by current agreement. Keep it in the file with your other court documents.

9. Make your visits. Make sure that you are making your visits when it’s your day. If you cannot make it for some reason, make sure you call the other parent and tell her. Not making a scheduled visit will look bad on your part.

10. Dress professionally. Make sure you are dressed nicely with a suit, etc. Don’t dress like a slob with ripped jeans or a ripped shirt.

11. Make sure that you go to all your court dates. Missing court could result in a warrant for your arrest.
