UTAH: I filed for divorce five years ago (Ex remarried two weeks after divorce). My ex has nothing to do with my sons (unless he can hurt or affect me). His new wife is manic and spends money like crazy ... lower child support was ordered in November 2000. The order wasn't filed with the courts until May 31, 2001 because of his attorney. The judge found my ex in contempt of court for not paying child support or medical bills. He is now paying some child support but not a dime towards medical.
Here's my dilemma: Should I try and appeal the downward modification? I know my ex is making more money (he just bought another vehicle and I can have the credit application subpoenaed -- I think his wife used "their" tax refund for the down payment). Can I even appeal the order? Should I try and nail him to the wall for non-compliance on every issue in the divorce decree or just take him back to court when the medical judgment is high enough??
I feel that his actions warrant another court date. I'm reluctant because it takes a lot of my time and energy but feel that my children deserve it. I'd do court pro se this time instead of having my attorney. Any suggestions?
