Mom Wants YEARS of Back Child Support… Judge Orders HER to Pay $27K

Dad agrees to pay the maximum guideline amount going forward, but he wants no possession or access to his daughter. Mom argues that because she will shoulder the entire parenting burden, he should be required to pay more. The attorneys clash almost immediately over discovery and attorney fees before delivering two radically different versions of how the case reached this point. Dad's attorney argues that he did not learn the child existed until years after her birth and says he began supporting her once he was notified. Then Judge Bailey starts examining the timeline herself. Mom says she attempted to notify Dad in 2023, but the court focuses on the lack of documentary evidence establishing that notice. Bailey also examines an earlier paternity case involving another man and Dad's conduct after he was eventually served. As Bailey questions whether the requirements for retroactive support have been established, she says the court is seeing "the opposite" of someone who learned he was the father and then tried to avoid supporting the child. Then Bailey asks a very basic question: exactly how much retroactive support is Mom asking her to award? Her attorney admits he did not calculate the amount. In the final ruling, Mom receives sole managing conservatorship and maximum guideline child support. Dad receives no weekends, holidays, summer possession or other periods of access. But Mom's request for retroactive child support is denied. Her request for above-guideline support is also denied. Then comes the final reversal: Mom is ordered to pay $27,373.75 directly to Dad's attorney. #JudgeBailey #ChildSupport #FamilyCourt #RetroactiveChildSupport #ChildSupportCourt #FamilyLaw #TexasCourt #CourtroomDrama #CourtroomVideo #GavelGazers Our channel aims to shed light on the judicial process and the individuals responsible for delivering justice to the community.
