question is how do i go about getting my child support reduced? i currently am behind and my income is cut in half compared to when we settled. thank you
My response:
Just like myself, the court is also going to ask you what are the circumstances that are keeping you from working at a higher paying job? It has better be some form of mental, emotional, or physical disability - - otherwise, the judge is going to look at you with those "steely" eyes - - and then deny your Petition.
Then, the judge is going to find you in "contempt of court" and make you a "guest" of the county for about a week, with new orders that all arrears be converted to a judgment, allowing your wife to go after your wages, bank account, vehicles, or anything else of value.
I would suggest that you get yourself a new, higher paying job, and voluntarily pay extra to get those arrears cleared up - - REAL QUICK before she has your buns hauled back into court.
