# Legal Order - Arrearage 2026-05-14 Triage

This is **document triage, not legal advice**. Extracted from Gmail/e-service notices and attached PDFs so Will/Atlas can track dates, amounts, next questions, and source documents without re-opening everything from scratch.

## Immediate answer

- I found a **hearing date**: **2026-05-14**. The order says: “A hearing was held on 5/14/26.”
- I found an **order/signed date**: **2026-05-14**, signed by **Commissioner Lindsey Goheen**.
- I did **not** see a specific future hearing date or response/appeal/reconsideration deadline in the extracted order pages. A legal professional should verify this.
- I did find **e-service document-access/download windows** in the King County emails. These are portal viewing windows, not necessarily legal deadlines:
  - 2026-04-29 e-service email → 15 calendar days later ≈ **2026-05-14**.
  - 2026-05-11 e-service email → 15 calendar days later ≈ **2026-05-26**.
  - 2026-05-14 e-service email → 15 calendar days later ≈ **2026-05-29**.

## Court findings / orders extracted

- The court says it considered the motion, supporting documents, response/reply/other documents, and court records.
- The order says the petitioner satisfied her burden of demonstrating the requested expenses were actually and reasonably incurred and should be reduced to judgment.
- Lawyer fees and costs listed in the money judgment are marked as incurred and reasonable.
- The court orders the money judgment summarized above.

## Payment method / enforcement language

Payment method ordered:

- Phone: **1-800-922-4306** or **1-800-442-5437**

DCS enforcement section says DCS will enforce this order because:

- this is a public assistance case;
- one of the parties has already asked DCS for services;
- one of the parties has asked for DCS services by signing the application statement at the end of this order.

Income withholding/garnishment section says:

- DCS or the person owed support can collect support owed from income, earnings, assets, or benefits of the parent who owes support.
- DCS/person owed support can enforce liens against real or personal property as allowed by child support laws **without notice to the parent who owes support**.
- Checked line: **“Does not apply. There is no good reason to delay income withholding.”**

Other handwritten order:

- “Petitioner shall arrange for this order to be served on respondent (e-service or service by mail).”

## What I did not find

- I did not find a new future hearing date in the order pages extracted.
- I did not find an explicit response deadline in the order pages extracted.
- I did not verify appeal/reconsideration/deadline rules. That requires legal review, not Atlas guessing.

## Minimum next actions

- [ ] Save/copy the May 14 order PDFs somewhere durable outside Gmail/portal.
- [ ] If needed, save the Apr 29 and May 11 e-service documents from King County before/if still available.
- [ ] Ask legal aid / attorney / court facilitator: “Is there any deadline to respond, appeal, request reconsideration, request revision, request modification, request payment plan, or raise inability to pay?”
- [ ] Ask what “DID NOT APPEAR” changes now.
- [ ] Ask what DCS enforcement/income withholding may mean in practice and whether there are steps to prevent surprise garnishment.
- [ ] Ask whether the apparent date-range issue in the child-support line matters or can be corrected/clarified.

## Questions for legal help

- I cannot pay the full listed amount. What options exist?
- Is there any deadline to respond, appeal, reconsider, revise, modify, or request relief?
- What does “DID NOT APPEAR” mean for my options now?
- What happens next with DCS enforcement and income withholding?
- Can I request a payment plan or modification based on inability to pay and medical/FMLA situation?
- Does the child-support date range “August 2025 to April 2025” look like a clerical error, and does that matter?
- Are there local legal aid resources or a court facilitator who can help with this family-law support order?
