The episode named "Child Support Broke; Pro-Rate Rebate" in season 3 of Judge Faith focuses on two separate cases related to child support payments.
In the first case, a mother is seeking unpaid child support from her ex-husband, who has allegedly not paid for several months. The mother claims that her ex-husband frequently disregards their child support agreement and does not contribute financially to their child's upbringing. The ex-husband, on the other hand, argues that he has experienced financial difficulties and cannot afford to pay the full amount of child support.
Throughout the episode, Judge Faith listens to both sides of the argument and evaluates the evidence presented. She questions both parties about their financial situations and tries to determine whether the father has truly been unable to make payments or has simply chosen not to. Ultimately, Judge Faith must decide whether to order the father to pay the outstanding child support or reduce the amount based on his financial circumstances.
In the second case, a father is seeking a pro-rated rebate for child support payments he made during a time period when he did not have custody of his child. The father argues that he should only be responsible for paying child support during the time that his child was living with his ex-wife, and that he should have received a rebate for any payments made when the child was not in his ex-wife's custody.
The ex-wife, however, maintains that the child support agreement was clear and that the father was responsible for making payments regardless of custody arrangements. She argues that the father should not receive a rebate for payments that were already owed according to the agreement.
As in the first case, Judge Faith must evaluate both arguments and determine whether the father is entitled to a rebate. She considers the terms of the child support agreement and whether the father's payments were made in good faith. Ultimately, Judge Faith must determine whether the father should receive a pro-rated rebate for the time that his child was not living with his ex-wife.
Overall, the episode "Child Support Broke; Pro-Rate Rebate" in season 3 of Judge Faith examines the complexities of child support agreements and the challenges that arise when one party is unable or unwilling to make payments. Through her careful consideration of the evidence presented, Judge Faith must decide how to best serve the interests of the children involved and ensure that both parents fulfill their financial obligations.
