take away more than half of your pay check ?? Mu hubby has a case of childsupport for certain amount to be deducted b- weekly, the problem is that in the past month up to today, his hours have been reduce due to less job but it will get back to his normal 40 -50 hrs per week (he works at an event center) but thae last 2 pay checks he has being left with only $10dlls, not even to fill a tank of gas ...Can this be okay?? Can child support take more than what you earn?? Has anyone know what to do or what to proceed in this cases??? any advice will be appreciated !! If this is true how do they expect to pay bills & other expenses at home ...He is not behind on his payments he is up to date but this just a question cuz we are new at this!!

It is legal and yeah is can really suck. The courts concern is not how this man survives but that the kids are well provided for. I had to deal with a similar situation for 18 years and could hardly feed myself. If he takes a reduction in pay or hours it is possible to petition the court for a reduction of child support but it takes time to do. The good part is you usually don't need a lawyer to do that.

child support is based on average yearly earnings. If your husbands work has taken a downturn he will need to go back to court to see if he can get his rate adjusted. His children don't eat less just because he makes less.

He needs to go back to court and get his child support lowered.

It actually can. My friend had to get a second job to pay his rent. Needs to see a lawyer.
