Not as fa as I know, for if he does, he will be in breach of the existing order.... 1. Is he allowed to stop payments until the date of the hearing for the application of variation...
I wouldn't expect so but then I'm not imbued with judicial wisdom, legal expertise and all the 'facts'.... 2. Is it likely that the judge will let him get away with paying nothing while he is 'out of work'. Our initial maintenance order was made while both of us were working, I too have lost my job. Is it likely that he will get away with paying nothing while I am expected to support our child on a near equivalent social welfare payment (extra €24 child dependant) ...
If you have suspicions then I believe you need to let the SW inspectors know and have them produce reports or 'proof' that the judge will accept.... 3. He said he is out of work but I have found information on a Social Networking Site where he says he has work for the next couple of months and is signing too, can I use this as proof on the court date or is it likely to annoy the judge...
My ex-h has been irratic with payments for the last 6 months and subsequently paid all arrears when I got a maintenance summons issued against him, court date 4 weeks ago, it was struck out because all arrears paid and he committed to pay weekly going forward.
Unfortunately, he has not paid since the week of the court case so I am back to square one, he has told me he is applying for a variation to get all maintenance stopped until he is back in employment and says he cannot afford to pay me the weekly maintenance in the meantime or any of it.
I have a few queries:
1. Is he allowed to stop payments until the date of the hearing for the application of variation.
2. Is it likely that the judge will let him get away with paying nothing while he is 'out of work'. Our initial maintenance order was made while both of us were working, I too have lost my job. Is it likely that he will get away with paying nothing while I am expected to support our child on a near equivalent social welfare payment (extra €24 child dependant)
3. He said he is out of work but I have found information on a Social Networking Site where he says he has work for the next couple of months and is signing too, can I use this as proof on the court date or is it likely to annoy the judge.
