Folks, I was recently hit with a Adversary Proceeding (4 days ago). The deadline to file AP's is tomorrow. The adversary is a the attorney of my son's mother. The last time we were in family court the judge ordered me to pay some of her attorney fees (directly to her attorney). I included these fees in my filing for discharge. In family court, the basis for the fees is that I was supposedly in a better position to pay her fees than she was. As we know, this is not always the case because family law judges don't really look at what your expenses are - just your income. The truth is, I really can't afford the fees.
Anyway, a AP has been filed claiming that the attorney fees awarded to them constitute domestic support to my son's mother. The attorney has named her on the suit as well - trying to tie her to it as much as possible.
Anybody have any experience with something like this or have any specific advice related to whether this can really be considered domestic support?
