Summary (Justice Demanded)
Document title: AFFIDAVIT OF RESPONDENT
In his affidavit, Aaron Surina, the respondent, contends that the child support and maintenance orders imposed against him are founded on inaccurate income figures, contrary to legal intent. This misrepresentation results in his income being almost entirely consumed by these court-ordered obligations, leaving him financially incapacitated to afford his living accommodations and legal counsel. He has had to depend on family support and credit cards to meet basic living expenses, and now qualifies for food stamps under Washington law RCW 26.19.071.
Surina asserts that the petitioner’s unjust advantage in the current calculations has left him defenseless against vexatious litigation. He has spent $16,000 defending himself without the petitioner being required to substantiate their claims, which has made it impossible for him to afford a Guardian ad Litem and mediation, both crucial to the case’s resolution.
Moreover, Surina exposes the fact that he is bearing the cost of multiple adults residing rent-free in a large, expensive home, while the petitioner alleges unemployment. This claim is disputed by Surina, who points out that the petitioner’s mother found employment within 10 days of arriving in the country, despite language barriers.
Surina implores the court to accept his child support worksheets to correct the situation and enable efficient mediation. He also requests the court to consider certain RCWs in relation to credits on his child support order from September 27, 2017, until the petition is set. From his vantage point, the court proceedings seem biased against him, with the petitioner profiting from inaccurate calculations and a lack of evidence burden. He perceives this as an injustice and seeks a fair resolution.
While the court documents do not explicitly suggest unfairness, unethical conduct, or bias against Aaron Surina, they do reflect a potential lack of transparency. The attached file “ChildSupportWorksheets2016_05_01.doc” lacks context, making it impossible to confirm any injustice or bias. This absence of clarity may disadvantage Aaron, affecting his understanding of the case and ability to respond. Detailed examination of the attached document could reveal potential unfairness or bias, and Aaron may feel inadequately informed about the proceedings, leading to perceived bias.
