I have been divorced for close to twelve years now and for most of those years, I dutifully paid child support and alimony. The state of South Dakota saw to it that the money came directly from my salary, which was okay until I was downsized. With no salary coming in, no child support / alimony went out, especially since SD wouldn’t agree to a reduced amount. So, I am somewhat in arrears.
About six weeks ago, the state of SD had the court order registered here in Florida. Now, just a couple of days ago, I received a notice that my ex is petitioning the Florida court with a “Motion to remove case from court supervision and remove DOR (Department of Revenue) and its counsel as a party to this action.” The notice goes on to ask the court to order future payments be made to petitioner and that the case be classified as a “NON IV-D” case.
So, what is a “NON IV-D” case?
And, what is the next likely move in this chess game?
I should add that my ex is probably the single most vindicative, spiteful woman that ever lived.
Any input will be most welcome.
