This week I had the pleasure of sitting in on five hearings. On Monday Magistrate Akel allowed me to observe a child support hearing where both parties were living in Iowa. The initial order was given while the couple lived in Florida. When the father moved to Iowa he was ordered to pay $509.00 dollars a month in child support. The mother sent the child to Iowa to visit his father for a week but the child never came back to Florida. While the child was in the father’s custody he continued to pay child support to the mother. During the hearing, the father wanted to ensure that his ex – wife placed the money that she owed him into a depository account. The attorney representing the father pointed out that she was behind in paying him back. The attorney as well as the father believed that the she was using the money to support her other children. The mother claimed that all of the money that she owed her ex-husband was already in the depository. Magistrate Akel made sure that the mother was aware that if the money was not there she would be held in contempt of court.

If you don’t think the existing visitation order is good for your child, then you need to file an action with the court to modify the order. Not following the order can lead to serious consequences,
