I have seen other reports on this website from parents who suspect illegal activity within the Friend of the Court in Wayne County, Michigan. I would like to second that suspcision and suggest the court should be investigated. Specifically, I think they are guilty of racketeering and I believe if enough individuals and families were surveyed it would be found that there are widespread, recurring issues of payees not receiving funds, despite those funds being taken from the payer, and money just disappearing from accounts. Just this week, $150 mysteriously disappeared from my "owed" amount. Even though it is near the end of the month, the amount owed to me was over 80% of what I am supposed to receive per month.
Then, suddenly, without any receipt of a payment, that amount gets reduced. I routinely receive 1-2 payments per month of actual owed amounts. The rest are past-due -- payments I failed to receive the month before. Meanwhile, payments continue to be deducted from the payer's account. This money is going somewhere and it isn't into the accounts of all of the (mostly) single mothers trying to raise their children. The Friend of the Court is exploiting and abusing this already vulnerable segement of the population and someone is profiting from it. I am not a lawyer, or I would take this on myself. Instead, I am pleading for some lawyer, somewhere with a conscience to do so. Thank you.
Dec. 1 2011 an order was signed by judge Muriel Hughes for me to pay 62,966.01 in back child support at a rate of 750 dollars a month. I appealed this order, on June 29 2012 I flew to Michigan from Oklahoma, the hearing was adjourned and set for July 20 2012. On July 20 judge Diane Bigger denied my motion to dismiss the case and ruled the court order is valid and signed and I am to pay the full amount. The court order is not signed and does not appear in the Register of Actions which makes it invalid. Wayne County Curcuit Court case number 79939308-DS was never filed and was closed on 01-01-2004, the statue of limitations expired on 07-18-2007. My DL has never been suspended for non-payment of child support, no warrants for my arrest, there hasn't been a wage garnishment since Feb.1981.
1979 Susan Pinoniemi told me she was pregnant and I was the father, I took her to the DHS office signed the papers and set up the child support hearing for March21 1980, she told me she didn't have a ride so I agreed to take her. On the hearing date she brings her mother with her, judge Patrick Dugan ordered me to pay 8 dollars a week and have it garnished from my 57 dollar pay check. Feb. 1981 F.O.C. took my income tax return claiming I am behind on child support, I showed them ever payment was made and showed them the court order. She crumpled up the court order saying we want 35 dollars a week not 8, I refused to pay, my boss refused to take out 35 dollars because it would leave me with nothing. I went to the F.O.C. telling them to put a warrant for my arrest and we will see what the judge says, they refused. I spent the 80s trying to fix this without success, this ruined my life.
