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.

Income withholding/garnishment section says:

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?
