We have paid an extremely high amount for a long time and we just can't afford to pay our bills and this amount. What can we do? My husband is trying to get his own business going so we can live as we did before but this is very hard and he hasn't had a check since the first of November.

Before you people start bashing us, I am paying right now out of my pocket and it is double the child support I get. I have been through times my ex couldn't pay and I understand people have problems, I never did anything but assure him he could always see the kids. I just need some temporary relief of a hard situation. We shouldn't have to provide all the money all the time, it is equal. If you aren't trying to help, why are you on this sight? It is not for bashing people, it is for helping.

It would be up to the judge. He would look at the past circumstances and see how he was in the past and make sure this is not a ploy to just get out of pay his support. You can at least get a suspension that prevents him from going to jail for not having payed his support. If he gets his business up and running then he is going to have to pay the same amount of support as he did in the past ex specially if you are living the same life style with the same income.

Most courts put children first. It's not like your husband lost his job. He chose to quit or do something that he couldn't financially handle. The other side might argue that as a ploy and the court likely sides with the X. Of course, you may prove that your X has higher income than she had at the time of divorce.

So.....how does all this add up to paying less child support? Are you suggesting that because your husband can't make a go of his business, his child should stop eating? Going to school? Growing out of clothes? Tell you husband to forget the business and get a job.

As on your boss mendacity on the way you lost your job, charm it by potential of unemployment, my chum lost her job because she change right into a manager at a blockbuster and her save change into always a multitude and issues went lacking for all time, unemployment reported that if she felt she did the job to the finest of her potential then she change into entitled to unemployment. sturdy success, and interior the mean time you may want to attempt to hit upon a evening job from 5-12 or something basically to have some money coming in, then you definately might want to nevertheless be obtainable for day time interviews. i understand this is not basic to demean your self, i'm a chemist and change into laid off for 6 months and had to hit upon a job so i might want to keep a roof over my head, I were given one at blockbuster. It paid somewhat above minimum salary, in spite of the undeniable fact that the human beings were fantastic and that i had flexibility to seek for a "authentic" job.

So he is supporting a child, that isn't yours?? sorry, u weren't clear about that. if so, I'm sorry but that child has needs obviously if he cant provide the money, then he cant. U could negotiate that in court, but all in all, once u financially stable again-the support costs may be raised again.

you have to return to court for a new support order. the court doesnt 'see' you. they only see the first family as his first responsibility. tough situation for everyone. peace
