Whitehead V. Whitehead Case Summary
Statement of Facts: The Whiteheads got divorced in 2016. Mr. Whitehead is supposed to pay $700.00 a month for child support. In January of 2017, Mr. Whitehead lost his job and stayed unemployed until October of 2017. After 10 months of being unemployed, Mr. Whitehead found a job as an electrician. While he was unemployed, he did not pay any of the child support. In 2017, Mrs. Whitehead filed a motion for a divorce decree with the court. Mrs. Whitehead wanted Mr. Whitehead to pay the $7000.00 he owes from being unemployed. Mr. Whitehead then made a petition to reduce the amount he owed. The petition stated he wanted the court to excuse him from paying the missed child support. The court countered his offer and ordered Mr. Whitehead to pay …show more content…
The formula shall be based upon the needs of the child and the actual resources of each parent. The formula shall establish a minimum threshold for modification of a child support amount. The formula shall consider the child care and dependent health care coverage costs of each parent. The formula shall include guidelines for setting and administratively adjusting the amount of periodic payments for overdue support, including guidelines for adjustment of arrearage payment schedules when the current support obligation for a child terminates and the payer owes overdue …show more content…
Which in this case, the court ordered him to pay half the amount due. The court cannot allow him to pay only half because of the formula they must abide by. The formula will take into consideration his unemployment. In the Borowsky, the court had to follow the formula, even though the defendant was unemployed at the time. In Moncada v. Moncada, the court found that the petition was insufficient. The court also ordered when he found a job they would increase the amount of child support. This is because he must make up the money even though he was unemployed. In the Whitehead v. Whitehead case, the defendant was unemployed and asked for a petition. The court cannot only allow Mr. Whitehead to pay half instead of adding to the child

    Walden V. Gina Fiore Summary

    The next day and over the course of a month Fiore had people to make efforts from Nevada to show that the money was indeed legit and have not been earned illegally. The petitioner helped draft an affidavit to show probable cause for forfeiture of the funds. Fiore filed a lawsuit against Walden in the district court of Nevada saying Walden had no probable cause to search and seize the money and for him keeping the money even why he found out that the money was indeed legit. The District Court granted Walden motion to dismiss the case because Nevada had no jurisdiction over the case, for the seizer of the money took place in Georgia. During the appeal a divided panel ended up coming to the verdict that the search and seizer of the money could not support Nevada jurisdiction, however the Nevada had jurisdiction over the alleged false affidavit for knowing it would be a significant connection o Nevada also that delaying the funds would cause foreseeable harm which made this jurisdiction…

    Pete Foley Case Summary

    Maureen Foley (she has resumed her maiden name) and Richard Turrow were divorced in 2006 in Idaho, following ten years of marriage. At the time of the divorce, the couple had two children, Colin and Tyler, ages 4 and 6, and the court awarded joint legal custody to both parties and physical custody of both children to Maureen. Richard was ordered to pay $450/month in child support for both children. At the time of this order, Richard made approximately $25,000 a year, and Maureen made $14,000 a year. Maureen now makes $18,000 a year and just isn’t cutting it with such a low amount of child support for two growing children who eat a lot more food than they did when they were only 4 and 6. Also, Richard now makes $45,000 a year thanks to a major promotion a few years ago.…

    Connecticut Supreme Court Case Summary

    The landmark Sheff v. O’Neill Connecticut Supreme Court decision will have a dramatic effect on the state of education in the great state of Connecticut. The de-facto segregation of Connecticut public schools over several years has been a troubling trend that has ultimately led to the decision reached by the court. The low performance of schools in the Hartford area has been a concern of many parents and educators. A child’s education is the most valuable tool a child can receive to prepare themselves for the world. The people of Connecticut must recognize the impact that failing schools can have on the entire state. The people in the Connecticut General Assembly and yourself must act to ensure each child has a chance at fulfilling their God given talents. However, I do not believe the Connecticut Supreme Court was correct in saying that it is the…

    Argumentative Essay: TANF And Child Support

    The topic of child support and how the funds are allocated can become a very debatable topic. The way child support works in most states is that if the custodial parent (the parent the child lives with) receives Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) the child support paid by the non-custodial parent goes towards paying the state back. Some feel that the state should not try to recoup the money. Others feel that by the state taking the child support payments, it takes away from the custodial parent and still leaves the single parent with the burden to take care of the child alone. I disagree with this argument. I feel that the state should be paid back for TANF benefits awarded and garnishing child support payments may be the easiest way to receive payment.…

    Arguments On Child Support

    Anyone could argue about child support, but who has to pay is determined by a judge in court. What I don't understand about why some women file for it, like the ones' who has all these kids and don't have a job or don't want a job, but wants money. Women who don't have jobs, but has their hair and nails done, and talk about their kids needs clothes and diapers. Women who don't want the father to take full responsibility for their child or children, but will let them get their child or children if they give them some money when they get their checks cashed. I feel that if a child's father is doing his part as a father why put them on child support. If the father offers to take care of the child or children until the mother…

    Ethical Issues In To Kill A Mockingbird

    In March 2010, Margaret Besen filed for divorce because her relationship with her now ex-husband caused fighting to break out within the household scaring their 2, then young, children. In the Besen divorce case, Judge Kent’s first resolution was to impose financial obligations on the ex-husband, who was employed with an exceptional paying job, which included weekly child support of $200. But when the ex never made the payments, the judge who was working the case did nothing but watch Margaret, who was unemployed at the time, struggle to provide for herself and her kids. Now Margaret and her kids are living well without the help of her ex With that said most cases don’t have to do with a spouse or relative, it sometimes must do with the system itself. Doug Deason wrote to the New Times, “But unlike many in my situation, I could fight the charge.…
