judge time.....

[coqui]

I was in court last 30 of June, My ex want to modified Child Support, she was asking for a rise ( $1500) and I was asking for decresed. Since I return from overseas I am unemploye ( almost 5 months now) . The Judge aks us for our attorneys email to send them his final decition, still 26 days and we have not news. How much time do they need to make a desition about child support? There is any limit of days for them to do their job? . This is TEXAS.

Take a chill pill, Bro. Family court judges generally take their sweet time in these matters. He'll get around to a decision after vacation - maybe.

If you expect a decision in less than 30 days, you're expecting too much. 60-90 days is about right. Start getting your boxers in a bunch after 120 days.

Best thing is to just question your attorney and see what his/her take is on this. Before getting stressed just ask hi/her and see what they have to say.

I HAVE ALREADY ASK HER. ANSWER IS " WE ARE IN THE JUDGE HANDS". Even told me that she saw him at a conference last week, but my question still it is only child support we are asking about and how much time a judge legaly have to make a a final settlement? I am still unemployed and soon to be broke....
For me , this is unsane......

If it's not already apparent, the judge, your lawyer, and everyone else doesn't care about your financial situation. What makes you think that they would?

You could perhaps ask your attorney to call the judges assistant and ask about it, and possibly throw in a comment about your situation.

nop.. I call my lawyer and she sound like sorprise too. So I call the Court ( 245 Family in Houston) an the secretary tols me that the Judge been reaaly busy, but went I taol her is already 80 days, she was sorprise too. She told me to ask my lawyer to make an offical request, but my lawyer is affreid of the Judge, she toald me to wait.
Any Ideas?

Manage your lawyer. Tell her that you want a letter drafted in regards to the reduction since it has ben 80 days and also retroactive to the date of filing. Just because she has a law degeree does not mean squat. You pay her fees and you manage your case. If you choose to let her run you over then that is your fault.
