job loss, modify support?

[goodmama1]

I just got a heads up that I may be about to loose my job. As NCP I pay CS each week. What EXACTLY do I need to do to protect myself from being in contempt if I can't pay all my CS? I looked at Indiana website but can't figure out what form I need to file with the court. Do I have to have an attorney file something for me?

If you might lose your job, you may want to start looking for a new job to prevent any loss of income.

Well, OF COURSE I'm looking for a new job. I want to be prepared so I'm not one of those people who are in contempt due to not notifying court BEFORE I miss any payments. I want to file any required paperwork on day one. I also am pretty sure I'll not be employable at this income. Getting this job was a fluke.

you will have to file for a modification of support, call the court has and ask what papers need to be filed for a modification. more then likely you will be held to your previous income though. they court sees it as you were capable of making that once, so you can again.

Maybe these will help you.
