My ex husband altered his own check for child support?

Question

I have court Monday for my ex husbands first probation monitoring hearing for child support, spousal support and other things.  He just sent a few checks yesterday, but he altered his own checks so the bank rejected them.  He wrote a different amount from the monetary value he wrote on two checks, the biggest ones, so I could not cash them. I know it was done on purpose but he expects to get credit for those checks Monday in court.  Is that something a judge will overlook and just say, oh it was an honest mistake, or will they turn him over to criminal court for writing worthless checks?

You should have gotten an affidavit from a bank officer stating that the checks were not negotiable as written.  If you have the checks in your possession, bring them to court.  Ask the court to order him to replace them immediately AND ask the court to impose a penalty immediately if the checks bounce so that you can avoid the delay and expense of a second court appearance.

Do not claim he did it on purpose.  You can't KNOW that and you'll sound like a shew.  If he's that trasparent, the court will see it.

stop with the whining!!!! re-read the divorce decree and note that the petition says "in the interest of ___a minor child/children." BECAUSE his relationship/love for his children is the most important element, and this should be your most important element not the $$$....Ms. Laballbuster Moron.

He's paying child support and spousal support. With everything else people have to pay for in life as it is, the credit is well deserved.
