The applicant payor brought a motion for a refraining order against the Family Responsibility Office and a motion to change a final child support order.
During the hearing, it was revealed that the applicant's signature on his affidavit and financial statement had been forged, likely by his counsel.
Despite the procedural irregularities, the court found that the children were no longer eligible for support as of 2010 and the applicant had actually overpaid.
Relying on the primary objective of the Family Law Rules, the court dispensed with service on the recipient and assignee, granted the refraining order, and terminated the child support order retroactively.
