one hundred percent custody of book to two children she was also granted a play a different proceeding little a bit later she was granted six thousand dollars for spousal support and child support  over the course of the next sixteen months mr mallon spend helpless hours time and money resources to finally get his children back to try and contradict the allegation that a false allegation that had been made to the court to so in june of two thousand and twelve mr mallon was given fifty fifty coast no that changed slightly in august because they went to school and then in august that was modified and the children began to stay with mr mallon four days out of maybe seven during the school year how old are the children presently the children i believe but the time of the complaint they were seven and eight i believe there are now nine eleven so there's still there's still some time to go but in any case this case obviously the impending for many years this was eight years ago so again in august of two thousand and twelve mr mal hand became the parent who had fifty four percent of the time with the children under any standard he is a custom parent or because still family and yet every time he has attempted to have this situation looked at he's been turned down so it paragraph one fifty two of our complaint for instance which is only fifty it says mr mallock was told that the policy of new jersey is  forty two section six six six eight ten provides specifically for review and adjustment of child support orders at least every three years and quote the request  and again this is this is a specific right and i think this is again we think this is a forcible through one thousand nine hundred three but even aside from that our primary belief even whether we could get injunctive relief under one hundred eighty three our primary relief that we're really seeking is declaratory really declaratory judgment wanted to clear it tory judgment that the state cannot decide that they're only going to provide a try any you know review if the  are borne by both rooker feldman doctor and in younger abstention maybe you can deal with that yes so the so the younger first is simple the younger the sprint case is limited to three not to do simple that well i mean i think it's fairly because the  the other case involving the complete before you move on the i mean don't we need to distinguish among the different types of orders that are at issue in the state court aren't the garnishment orders uniquely in further into the state the levy orders didn't come from the from the the court but you're not asking about the garnishment order came from the court but it was subsequently vacated by the court after the u s department of labor had sent a letter to the  judge saying that they had looked at this and had determined that it was it was illegal under federal law because they had attempted to garnish eighty eight percent and this is actually is children going to garnishment order is not at issue anymore is that what you're telling us well no we would like we would like to labor that it was it was not valid under federal law so again we said we do think perspectively we'd like to see an order to stuff and happen again because it did happen once and we think he's in danger of this happening for a second time  given the history of the case but to try to answer one is about the rocker and i think that this the garnishment order goes directly to the record because the the district court ruled that we couldn't challenge the garnishment order because that was a violation of t custody order it was in august two thousand and twelve it provided mr mallon to have fifty four percent of the kind of custody and his and his instituted of life to have forty six percent so that's the wording we're not asking this court or the federal courts to change that order in any way shape or form that those are the court orders in effect mr mallon is not contesting any state court order in this case but isn't it in this case resolved quote at least for the moment and that's a language that's used a lot in the port authority case and you're saying well things could happen in the future we never know i mean this could go on the kids are only nine eleven but for the moment isn't this matter resolved by month in child support despite the fact that for the last seven years he has been the parent of primary residence and not only that her income has increased substantially when this was was was first put him her all of these things his pack his bank accounts have been levied repeatedly he owes me one hundred thousand dollars he's in debt up to his ears and their chain that he has to keep paying child support under the threat of going to jail but all he's asking for is he certainly can apply for trying to review he has he certainly can apply for transfer of you it's up to the agencies to review and make a determination of whether or not it should recommend a modification to the stake or which then to stay home with them review it and what would determine whether or not a modification is necessary for whatever reason is under the guidelines new jersey has a comprehensive system already in place to address changed circumstances and the unique nature of child custody proceedings i think your friend would say that didn't work so well for him in really good i mean you always look forwards process i guess and that's the judges who have the expertise in the state court domestic relationship matters true but he's also citing a federal statute that is true your honor but under the younger abstention doctor and if he has adequate opportunity to raise any of these federal claims which he does the younger abstention doctor's remains continues to apply in that instance but if the processes are going as you say it is doesn't that undercut your argument no your honor does not because it point based on the timeline from the complaint there have been at least six orders since two thousand and eleven regarding child support on these six orders regarding spouse modification at least two garnishment orders which if the court were to address count two which requires that the district court determine back to the appellant has custody and therefore not required to pay child support would be contrary to any one of those six or  final in the sense that the state court rendered a judgment the appellate the there was a there was an opportunity as of right to appeal whether or not the obligation appealed is their decision if they would have appealed they would july twenty seventh seen according to paragraph twenty one of the verify complaint after or argument the court denied custody modification motion bob last november which is referencing a two thousand and sixteen motion and says those are too specific but how do we know that's a final order they were not appealed to the appellate division and not and they are binding they continue to run throughout the child support proceedings until the child support matter to take rick or feldman first ok and we need a final order but if the case is on going to be final it in the n t even so as i understood your brief you're relying on our decision in port authority action and the second and fourth part of the doctrine require the court to determine the state that the district court to determine what is the exact source of the appellant's injury in other words if that is the point of complaining of injuries caused by the state court judgments and is inviting the district court to review and reject the state court judgments and again your honors and and count to in order for the district court to arrive at the relief that appellant is requesting it would require the district court to review or reject the parental arrangements and support ranges made by the fact the state family court in order to determine a he quote unquote is the custodial parent and not required to pay child support which is what the stakeholder already ordered him to do to pay child support in account five for example the appellant is requesting that the district court credit him mirah no but his his wife who are soon to be ex wife debt to his child support arrears which would directly overturn the state courts judgments that addressed spousal support credits in the past and which would also impact the pending motions for the credits before the state courts now just to stop you for a minute you talked about the ford protest was discus your honor if he applied to modify the child support and his rights the relief he sought was rejected then he lost in his motion that he was trying to modify the task or if he applied to modify the spousal support he lost six times the family court process it's a different animal though because it's always changing circumstances or changing spouses get different jobs have different income levels and therefore spousal and and child support can be adjusted accordingly forcing and modifying them comprising unique system and continue operation and they remain ongoing to the child support order is fighting this stars because new jersey has such a comprehensive and fluid system designed to address the ever present ever changing realities of child support orders for this court to intervene would constitute impermissible interference with pending state proceedings indeed as mentioned earlier new jersey already has a comprehensive system designed to address the ever changing issues and that is why and obligate can apply to the speaker at any time for modification due to change circumstances and can and based on the same circumstances and the guidelines provided to the state courts th state courts can exercise their expertise to determine whether or not a modification is appropriate under those instances thanks unless your honour's have any questions let's talk about younger as you have a certain points out your you or on it it did the spring communication decision does not affect the unique nature of the topic or proceedings are that are ongoing matter and that are usually there aren't there because of the unique system the child support will district communication in mchale applied the third category of disparate decision to the younger abstention document to arrive to the younger pension application as that was by this court the court in that matter determined that civil proceedings uniquely in furtherance of the state courts ability to perform the judicial function was a quick a bill it determined that new jersey has a deep unwavering interest in protecting and advancing the best interest of the child and once we got past that small row in two thousand and seventeen this court how that federal courts should abstain from ongoing states possible proceedings in a matter where the planes a father next in versus the family court judge and acts the court to determine he was not in contempt of an order issued in a child support try to clean this up in a presidential if your if your honour's would like to to issue a presidential decision today then it is the state's position that the younger abstention doctors should apply because of the unique you know and just to show my cards i mean it seems like the garnishment does go to the machinery of the court the working of the court but i'm not so sure about child support orders the child support child and that the and the new jersey's interest in protecting that interest the child will that you sort of i think that argument undermines your point because it go it runs for the benefit of the  individual it's not for the benefit of the working of the court and if it's for the benefit of the individual then under the third prong of sprint younger would not apply under that matter it would contradict the very essence of younger which is to prevent federal district courts from exercising appellate review jurisdiction over ongoing state family matters which are begin with your honor and therefore this court should apply the younger abstention to this matter because as the opponent readily admits his they perceived humane ongoing and any decision by this court would directly state interest by the the state which in this case it's clear that the state does have that interest and the opponent has to have adequate opportunity to raise the his spectral claims as the court which he does have an opportunity to raise it in state court if he so chooses the the opponent has not allowed this the proceeding to proceed to two to play play its course he's every chance he's taken is to prevent it from concluding and making i if we tell the district where they were they were she was wrong the question is who should make that determination us or the district where we do not need to go that far your honor because in the complaint itself the opponent states that they perceive things are ongoing complaint talks about he repeatedly did that and again appearing at one fifty two he specifically states now i was told that it was the policy of new jersey this is again this is an allegation the complaint has to be accepted as true this was what he was told by the state forty agency that it was the policy of new jersey not to do a training only view unless the person listed as the requested so they're telling you they know that's wrong but clearly didn't happen to mr mellon's case and he was told it doesn't happen in effect it's because again to say that he can come in at any time or every three years he is repeatedly this is eight years later he's repeatedly asked the state forty agency which they acknowledge that the state can  decide to do this review and then they say the process is they recommend to the state court that clearly the forty agency has the power to do or try any over you but they refused to do it mr mallock and the reason given was well you are the aba go and we don't support office of the child support services they would condone then and then after that review is conducted if you get the relief that you seek than the stay could appeal that well i think i would say next step if there's a disappointed they don't modify it or they they modify it only slightly when you take that appeal to the family court you can run to this quarter to the federal district court and say you know we want an order telling the family court to reverse the order of the ca is the substantive hook that you can hang your hat on to to force the agency to do c s for the trying you know review now also say we also have a broader due process claim a problem here which is situation that your client is experience with the agency well again i think the language of forty two six six six eight ten a is very clear because it says again upon the request of either parent or the state shall we view and for probate adjust the order in accordance with the guidelines established pursuant to section six hundred seventy so i think that's very clear this is exactly the kind of circumstance that is foreseen by this and exactly what the state has we used to do and again if they keep bringing in the you know the has no incentive whatsoever to delay this they keep saying you pay keep paying keep hanky pain he has no incentive to delay a final judgment you need to have a private right of action under six five four six six six or six six seven i would say this year i would say
