Re: Paske v. Paske
Dear Ms. Marrah:
My client has advised me that Mr. Paske continues to be delinquent in his child support payments and has made no effort of whatsoever nature to make up any arrearages. Notwithstanding Mr. Paske's employment status, it is apparent that he has the ability to make some payment and demonstrate a reasonable degree of responsibility In supporting his son.
Would you please address this matter with your client. In the absence of payment, I will be compelled to file a Motion for Contempt for non-payment and will further be compelled to seek attorney fees and costs.
I am In hope that our clients can amicably resolve this matter and I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Very truly yours,.

Enclosed herewith please find a copy of an agreement that was

Before I set a hearing and request the Court to approve the agreement, I would like to have your client's position as to whether or not it can be done without hearing.
Obviously at this point, paragraph three (3) regarding visitation would be subject to any terms and conditions as set forth by any current Court orders.

RE: Paske post-dissolution proceedings; Case No. 90-005283-CI-022
Dear David:
I have reviewed your letter of September 23, 1993, and the attached Agreement on Child Support and Visitation with Mrs. Paske. She explained to me that in December 1992, she entered into the Agreement on Child Support in order to take some of the financial pressure off Mr. Paske while he was changing employment. She feels that he has now had over ten (10) months to make the necessary adjustments and that child support should continue as initially ordered. Up until the commencement of the instant proceeding for modification of visitation, Mrs. Paske was actually rebating child support payments to Mr. Paske that she was receiving from the Income Deduction Order. Accordingly, at this time it will be necessary for you to schedule a hearing to obtain the relief you seek.
Incidentally, I have reviewed the language that you have submitted that is to be included in the Amended Temporary Restraining Order against Mr. Paske, and find it to be acceptable. I was in doubt as to whether you wanted me to prepare an Amended Temporary Restraining Order encompassing your language, or whether it was your intention to prepare your own Order. Please let me know as soon as possible.
Very sincerely,

RE: Paske post-dissolution proceedings; Case No. 90-005283-CI-022
Dear David:
As discussed by telephone last week, Ms. Paske would be willing to stipulate to a reduction in your client's child support obligation. After we spoke, I calculated Mr. Paske's share of the child support obligation to be $430.40. Ms. Paske's and Mr. Paske's net available income per month is $2,019.62 and $1,779.95, respectively. This totals $3,799.57, which gives rise to a- basic child support obligation for one child in the amount of $793.00. After adding 75% of the day care expense, or $75.00, and the child's share of the health care insurance at $47.75, I arrived at a total need of $915.75. Mr. Paske's percentage is 47%; and, thus, his obligation is $430.40. Ms. Paske would be willing to stipulate to that amount without the necessity of a further hearing. However, we both feel as though some provision should be made for the arrearage, which is substantial and is currently in excess of $6,000.00.
Please review this with your client, and let me know as soon as possible whether this matter can be resolved.

Would you please have Ms. Paske, or your office fill in the appropriate information, have Ms. Paske sign and date and return the form to my office in the enclosed envelope. I would expect to have this back within one (1) week's time based on the lengthy delay in just now having been advised that no tax return is available.
In light of the duration of this litigation, I will be requesting a copy of Ms. Paske's W-2 Statement for 1993, as well as a copy of her income tax return for 1993. Maybe you could ask her a head of time to keep an extra copy of this year's return together with a copy of her W-2 statement.

She informs me that she has no objection to your sending directly to the Internal Revenue Service for this return; and, accordingly, I will forward to Ms. Paske for her completion and signature the Request for Copy of Tax Form that you have furnished me.

Re: Paske
Dear David:
In review of my file I am reminded the Court's order of December 9, 1993, has already dealt with the issue of the 1992 Income Tax Return. The Court order indicates the former husband's Motion to Compel is granted and the Petitioner shall forthwith provide a copy of 1992 Income Tax Return. The burden therefore is upon Mrs. Paske to produce this return immediately. If necessary, I have returned to you the request form executed by Mrs. Paske.
With respect to the 1993 return, I was only furnished page (2) two. Could you please have Mrs. Paske provide page (1) one as soon as possible. Apparently a Mr. Pease (785-7460) prepared at least the 1993 return. You might want to check with Mr. Pease to see if he prepared the 1992 return.

RE: PASKE V PASKE
Gentlemen:
Since the pending litigation is not a Chapter 39 proceeding in which the file would be sealed, the Guardian ad Litem has a great deal of concern regarding the testimony that will be elicited and evidence that will be presented at trial, all of which will be available for public inspection and might be read by the child at a later date. This could have the effect of undoing the unification efforts and causing him unnecessary pain in his teenage or adult years.
Before everyone undergoes the emotional stress, and financial drain of a two-day trial, the Guardian ad Litem earnestly proposes the following to you for your consideration as a relatively amicable settlement of the issues presented. We hope you and your client will give it thoughtful consideration, and, in Joey's best interest, agree to the following:
1. Allow the mother and child to move to California on a permanent basis.
2. Allow the mother to have sole parental responsibility until such time as the child's therapist and the father's therapist agree that shared parenting no longer poses a danger to the child's well being.
3. Authorize an exchange of information between the child's therapist and the father's therapist regarding progress in therapy, problems, reunification efforts and other information as deemed appropriate by the therapists.
4. Allow the child's therapist and the father's therapist to have copies of Mitch Kroungold's, Ph.D., reports and the Guardian ad Litem's reports and other information they deem necessary to understand the psychological functioning of the child and father,

and to understand the nature of the allegations and history of the
C) case. 5. Allow the child's therapist to be considered the case
manager and to have decision-making ability when the father's and child's therapists are in conflict as the child's best interests needs to take priority over the parent's best interests.
6. Exchange the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the father's therapists and child's therapists within 30 days of the signing of the stipulation.
The Mother agrees to:
1. Keep the father informed as to Joey's extra curricular activities such as sports, performances and participation in Scouting-type activities and provide the father with photographs of Joey in a timely manner but not less than every three months.
2. Send the father copies of the child's school report cards, progress reports, pictures and placement in a timely manner but no less than every four months.
3. Keep the father informed of the child's medical history including immediate notification of serious emergency medical treatment and all hospitalizations.
4. Have the child in therapy as recommended by Gail Azar and to follow all recommendations of the child's therapist.
5. Cooperate with reunification efforts as long as they are recommended by the child's therapist.
6. Have the child available for reunification therapy as recommended by the child's therapist and to cooperate with the father in scheduling such sessions.
7. Follow the child's therapist's recommendations as to visitation and as to written and telephonic communication between the father and child.
8. Refrain from alienating the child from the father by any behaviors or verbalizations.
The Father agrees to:
1. Cooperate with the child's therapist regarding reunification.
2. Attend and successfully complete parenting classes.
3. Communicate with the child's therapist and to follow the child's therapist's recommendations as to frequency and types of communication.
4. Attend mental health therapy with a Court-approved
fl therapist to deal with issues of sexually inappropriate behavior, child development, impulse control, anger management, awareness of feelings, insight, judgment, alcohol abuse, parenting skills and other areas as deemed necessary by the therapist until released by the therapist for clinically satisfactory reasons. (If the father is released by the therapist because of personality problems, lack of payment, failure to follow recommendations or failure to cooperate or any other reason not related to an improvement in the father's mental health, emotional status, then the father agrees to attend therapy with another therapist as approved by the Court or as recommended by the previous therapist.)
5. Cooperate fully with his therapist and follow recommendations of the therapist.
6. Cooperate fully with the child's therapist and to follow the child's therapist's recommendations with regard to visitations, communication and reunifications.
7. Travel to the child's therapist for reunification, visits and therapy once such a procedure is approved by the child's and father's therapists.
8. Communicate with the child's school, medical practitioners, associates and the mother and stepfather, following
Q the recommendations of the child's and father's therapists only.
9. Refrain from any type of harassment of the child, mother, stepfather, child's therapist or schools.

j6iT C April 10, 1996
Mr. Kurland,
Enclosed you will find a copy of my paycheck. Also enclosed you will find a copy of the letter you sent Mr. Wall the last time we went through all this.
The first thing I want to say is that last time we went through this one of the reasons I did not agree to it was because I knew she would understate her income on her financial affidavit - and she did. Enclosed you will see her financial affidavit and her W-2 form.
The next thing I want to say is that when we divorced, she agreed to: 1. Sell the windsurfer and split the money. (Well, she sold it! .- she just kinda forgot to split the money.) 2. She would split the Christmas Ornaments (some which were very sentimental) with me. (Never did.) 3. She would split the camcorder with me. (Never did.)
Despite the fact I am financially worse off now than when we made the agreement - and the agreement says I need to be better off to change it - I would be willing to stipulate to $400/month plus $100/month to pay arrearages. I believe this should be very close to the guidelines - and more than fair considering the last few years. This arrangement would come close to paying off all arrearages by the time Joey is 18.
One other item of business - I still owe you for the court reporting for the trial. I still have to pay Mr Wall his last payment this month and he will be paid off. The next month (May) you will get your money as I promised. I said from the beginning I would pay you, and I always was going to, but as I told Mr. Wall a long time ago, lie gets paid first, you next. I believe (lie amount is approximately $200.
Please review this with your client, and let me know as soon as possible whether this matter can be resolved. Thank you.

RE: Paske post-dissolution proceedings; Case No. 90-005283-CI-022
Dear Mr. Paske:
In response to your letter dated April 10, 1996, my client has rejected your proposed offer of $400.00 per month plus $100.00 toward the arrearage. Unfortunately, that proposal would only slightly improve the arrearage situation. By the time Joey was eighteen, the arrearage would still be well over $20,000.00. However, my client would propose that you pay $500.00 per month toward your actual child support obligation and $150.00 per month toward the arrearage. In this way, the arrearage would only be approximately $6,000.00 when Joey turned eighteen. As an alternative, Mrs. Pratt would also accept $500.00 per month toward the child support and $100.00 per month on the arrearage with annual payments of $1,000.00 which could be paid on a semi-annual or quarterly basis. Here, the arrearage would only be approximately $1,600.00 by the time Joey reached eighteen. Please advise whether you would agree to either of these proposals.
Enclosed please find an Objection to your Request to Produce served upon my client. I would also remind you that a response to the Request to Produce which we served upon you is eighteen days over due. Please provide the documentation as soon as possible as we require it to prepare for the upcoming hearing regarding this matter. However, if we could reach a settlement, we could forego the legal work and court time. Thank you.

Mr. Kurland,
I can see with the numbers you quote in your letter to me, you misunderstood my offer
My offer includes REDUCING the child support to $400/month - a much more fair amount as shown by your own calculations on October 20, 1993 stating my child support obligation should be $430.40. My offer also includes $100 per month payment to go towards arrearages. In that way the full arrearage would almost be paid off in full by the time Joey was 18.
I am willing to change my offer slightly - to $120 per month towards arrearages so the full arrearage WOULD be paid off by the time Joey is 18.
I have been paying an amount of $580 for years now, when it should have been only $430 - by your own calculations.
Please find enclosed my motion to modify child support. Please consider my earlier request to produce a request to produce for this motion of reduction.
Please review this letter with your client, and let me know whether this matter can be resolved without having to go to court on the 21 and in the future. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Paske:
In response to your letter dated May 29, 1996, my client has rejected your proposed offer of $400.00 per month plus $100.00 toward the arrearage. Please be advised that the calculations made on October 20, 1993 no longer apply since the income figures used in those calculations no longer exist. My client, however, would propose that the child support obligation be reduced to $500.00 terminating at the appropriate time and that you pay an additional $100.00 per month toward the arrearage until it is paid in full. Please advise whether you would agree to this proposal before the hearing on June 21, 1996.
Also enclosed please find copies of the Former Wife's Motion to Strike, Motion to Compel and Amended Notice of Hearing. I would be glad to forego the Motion to Compel if you comply with the document production before close of business day Wednesday, June 19, 1996. Thank you.

Please advise whether you have any objections as to form and content. If not, please have Mr. Paske sign and return to this office as soon as possible. I will forward it on to Judge Case upon receipt. It would be helpful if Mr. Paske could fill in all personal information which is missing on the forms.

Dear Mr. Wall:
My client has asked me to make the following settlement proposal regarding the issues of child support and transportation costs pending in this matter.
As you maybe aware, Joeyhas two more visitations with Mr. Paske where he is accompanied to Florida by Mr. Pratt, Thanksgiving and Easter of2001. Beginning with summer-visitation in 2001, Joey will be traveling alone to Florida. Mrs. Pratt proposes that she will pay for Joey's airfare to Florida each time he visits if Mr. Paske would agree to pay child support in accordance with the attached child support guideline worksheet. Child support would commence on the first ofthe month following the signing of any agreement. However, Mrs. Pratt is now willing to give up any retroactive child support she may be owed and suggests that Mr. Paske pay an extra $200.00 per month toward the arrearage.
Please review this offer with your client and advise whether he is in agreement. Thank you for your cooperation in this regard.

Re: Paske v. Paske Circuit Civil No. 90-5283-Cl-22
Dear David:
Thank you for your correspondence of June 14, 2000. Your proposal has been forwarded to Mr. Paske for his review and comment, however, I am not quite sure I understand the payment toward arrears. In light of the fact that in the same sentence you reference that Ms. Pratt is willing to give up any retroactive child support. Can you please clarify this statement.
I have a concern referencing the telephone deposition of Ms. Pratt. A memo to my file indicates that Ms. Pratt is making arrangements to have a notary present to swear her in at the taking of her deposition. Please be reminded that I scheduled the telephone deposition as a courtesy to you and your client, rather than insisting on her presence in the State of Florida as she is the party initiating these proceedings. I do not want to have any misunderstandings with respect to the notary arrangements, and therefore would indicate a head of time that if the notary is not present and available at the time of the taking of the deposition of Ms. Pratt, then you will agree to a continuance of the scheduled hearing if necessary.
Regarding the hearing, it was my understanding that we were going to attempt to obtain at least two (2) hours. I see from the Notice of Final Hearing we received in this office during my absence that only 1 hour has been scheduled for final hearing and an additional ½ hour on my Motion to Revisit Transportation Costs. I would like to see if we can iminediatelyreschedule this for a two hour time period. /1
Very ti1S yours,
Wall

RE: Prattv. Paske Case Jo: 90-005283-CI-022
Dear Mr. Wall:
My client has asked me to make the following settlement proposal regarding the issues of child support and transportation costs pending in this matter.
As you may be aware, Joey has two more visitations with Mr. Paske wdierde is accompanied to Florida by Mr. Pratt, Thanksgiving and Easter of 2001. Beginning with summer visitation in 2001, Joey will be traveling alone to Florida. Mrs. Pratt proposes that she will pay for Joey's airfare to Florida each time he visits if W. Paske would agree to pay child support in accordance with the attached child support guideline worksheet. Child support would commence on the first ofthe month following the signing of any agreement. However, Mrs. Pratt is not willing to give up any retroactive child support she may be owed and suggests that Mr. Paske pay an extra $200. OQ per month toward the arrearage.
Please review this offer with your client and advise whether he is in agreement. Thank you for your cooperation in this regard.
Very sincerely,
LAW OFFICE OF DAVID J. KIJRLAND

Re: Paske v. Paske Circuit Civil No. 90-5283-CI--22
Dear David:
This will acknowledge receipt of your Memo dated June 28, 2000, that partially dealt with the taking of the deposition of your client.
I really want to have no confusion, Originally, I scheduled the deposition of your client to take place here in the State of Florida. I believe I an still entitled to do so initially as she is the petitioning party requesting affirmative relief here in the State of Florida. Correct me if I am wrong, but the request would thereafter be for you to have the deposition taken by telephone. It is my experience that if that takes place the obligation to insure the propriety of the telephone deposition is upon the party requesting same.
Perhaps in the matter of expediency and courtesy, I bypassed the first step, and agreed to schedule the deposition by telephone, however, again I reiterate that it is my understanding that the burden of the notary public is upon your client. It would be my understanding that if the deposition is postponed due to the lack of a notary public that unless the deposition can be rescheduled before final hearing, the final hearing would have to be continued.
I really don't anticipate nor expect problems in the taking of the deposition.
Very truly yours,
David N. Wall

Re: Paske v. Paske Circuit Civil No. 90-5283-CI-22
Dear David:
This will acknowledge receipt of your production to my Request for Production with respect to the above referenced matter.
In light of the August 16, 2000 final hearing date, I have scheduled a Motion to Compel with respect to the 1999 joint tax return.
I suggest that the case law makes it abundantly clear that your client's request for affirmative relief in this particular circumstance subjects her to disclosure of this tax return. Furthermore, it is related to the substance of the former agreement, and your own pleadings.
Unless you have any suggestions other than a flat refusal to comply, please accept this as my good faith attempt to settle and resolve this issue prior to the actual filing of my Motion to Compel.
Very truly yours,
David M. Wall

Re: Paske V. Paske
Dear Mr. Paske:
This will acknowledge receipt of the copies of the correspondence you recently provided to my office.
In the August 31st letter from "Liz" she references Greg's last letter. The only letter I have from Greg is a letter subsequent to the date, September 10, 2000. Can you please provide me with a copy of his correspondence to wh2i4h she refers.
Very

David,
You requested a letter from Greg that was referenced in Liz's letter dated August 31. I've enclosed it - it is the one dated August 20, 2000.
I thought I would enclose a copy of all the correspondence we have had since we have started writing instead of speaking on the phone. That way, you have it all, and won't be surprised by any of it, if it comes up in our court hearing.
Thanks.
-Bob
