What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
Hi everybody.
I have a post history.
Anyway, I updated the other day under "meet in the middle" for the cliff notes update.
My ex showed up at my house last week, and I called the police. He stood outside the door, yelling at me through the door about the temporary support order. I didn't respond or open the door. I just took the kids downstairs to the rec room & put a movie on.
He said pretty much the same thing that he said in court, but he added a few things about fighting me until he gets what he wants, that if he loses he's just going to keep appealing until I run out of money, that I'm taking food out of the mouths of his other children, that I'm a spiteful b*tch, that I'm...oh goodness. Just a lot of name calling. The police came, and they told him to leave. I filed a PFA the next day. I am afraid of him, I was afraid of him after the hearing, and after showing up at the house like that, I am really scared of him. He's in contempt, apparently, for showing up on my doorstep while he has a temp PFA on me, but that doesn't really mean anything when he's banging on the door. The judge granted the PFA, and now we have a hearing for that on Thursday.
Sigh.
I know I'm not a favorite, but I want to know what you think. How is this going to impact the case? I was very hesitant to file the PFA, even though my lawyer said I should, because I don't want the judge to think that it's a vindictive tit for tat move.
On the other hand, the man is extremely enraged about paying support, and he is acting irrationally. I am surprised by his reaction, and I know how nuts he can be.
While we're at it, he appealed the support decision. What are his chances of successfully reducing the support order? He is on disability and he receives $1200 take home, approx., per month. The support order is for $377. He pays 20% ($377/month),I pay the other 80%. In addition, out of pocket health care bills are paid according to the same percentages after the first $250.
