What is the motion?

I had a judgment of divorce that has me paying spousal support as well as a part of my yearly bonus as a percentage. In Michigan, there is a uniform spousal support order form that has a section 11 which contains the yearly bonus language from the judgment of divorce. At the top of that same form there's a checkbox that says "it is ordered, unless otherwise ordered in item 11: standard provisions have been modified (see item 11), and that checkbox is not checked! On this same uniform spousal support order there is a line item that states"this order supersedes all prior spousal support orders"

I did not pay the portion of my yearly bonus as ordered in the judgment of divorce because the uniform spousal support order supersedes that document as well as the checkbox referring to item 11 was not checked.

A little complicated I know but basically there's a checkbox that's standing between me and a payout of thousands of dollars. Any words of wisdom beyond the judge will do whatever they want?

I have a lawyer, and they will present this argument, but suggest I will lose

I have told opposing counsel to see the "standard" form that was signed/ordered. It's a standard form because the checkbox is not checked.

I don't understand the term ticky tack...?

I'm having a similar dialog with my lawyer. Ive heard stories of murderers getting off because they didn't get their Miranda rights. I was hoping to find someone on this thread who could provide some legal argument to convince the judge that I shouldn't be penalized for someone else's error, and better yet, that a signed form means what the form says.
