I live in Lucas County, Ohio. I was brought in for a hearing in 2003 for child support that I owed but I showed that the children had been living with me full time and that I was providing for 100% of their financial need. The "Motion to Show Cause" against me was dismissed by the Judge.
I have had physical/residential custody of my children for the past 11 years, however legal custody is in my mother's name. The CSEA continues to charge me with child support. All child support for the years my children weren't living with me has been paid.
What was the "Motion to Show Cause" charge and what did the Judge's dismissal mean if it didn't mean I shouldn't be charged for child support?

I have looked all though my paperwork. I shows MSC but doesn't have any additions to the title or directly say what for. However, it does include my Child Support case # and it shows the County CSEA and my mother as the Plantiffs vs. me.
Does that mean that the Motion to Show Cause dismissal is dissmissing my child support obligation?

A "motion to show cause" (abbreviated MSC) is just the type of motion -- the content would be the rest of the title -- for example "MSC why you should not be required to pay child support" --- or "MSC why we shouldn't burn your house down" -- or "MSC why the govt shouldn't take your children away". The rest of the title is the important part -- because that's what you are trying to prove shouldn't happen.
By winning the motion, you did "show cause" why the motion should not be granted -- in your case, if the motion was "show cause why you should not pay child support" it was because you were already supporting the children -- hence no need for a court order to that effect.

You can get a free consultation with an attorney on this preferably a child support attorney.
Take all the documents and it sounds to be if you are still being charged for child support then you need to file a motion to terminate child support.
If this is with the state then you need to do this immediately cause they can put you in prison for nonpayment and arrears.
Here is a web site for you to print off and read. Don't be concerned about who it is for just take in the information cause it has things you can glean from to help you.

a dismissal of a motion to show cause means that there wasn't enough proof to follow through on further court actions....so if it the judge told u that u didn't show cause then that means that he ruled against you, but if he was talking about the agency or whoever brought you to court, then that means that they were basically wrong and you were right. Hope this helps!

It means that your partner failed to prove to the judge that you owe child support because you had been supporting them all this time......I'm not a lawyer though
