Chapter 158 Dennis And His Problems (6)

• The monies in the checking and savings accounts at the time I filed were mine as was the house, furniture and appliances. However I was still going to be required to pay child support and spousal maintenance. As to the spousal support and child support a review showed the proper formulas for those payments were not followed. The review adjusted the spousal support down by two-thirds and the child support down by fifty percent. I told him that I would like the child support left as it originally was. And then he said:
• "And now for the bad news. Your being in jail does not negate your child support and spousal maintenance and since you are incarcerated and not working we will be placing a lien on your bank accounts. Any questions?"
• "Yes your honor, I have one on the bank accounts. Since the original judge allowed my wife access to those accounts can we go back to the amounts in those accounts on the day I was jailed and have whatever my wife pulled out of those accounts applied to the arrearage?"
