child support modification help
I have a court date to modify my child support order. I have two
cases and I filed for a modification because I married and have two more kids with my wife. I can't take care if my two kids that live with me and my wife and pay $1,700 a month (one case $643.00 othet $1086 00)in child support. Does anybody know what usually happens at these things when the CP does not have a lawywer? I want it lowered because I have two more kids. The case is in Maryland, and I haven't realy been paying. Any help, or advice? |

Any help, or advice? Typically a judge will not reduce previously ordered CS obligations unless you have a significant change of circumstances and have lots of proof. Having a subsequent family is not a significant change of circumstance. If you have not been paying your previous CS orders you are going into court without "clean hands." If you don't have an attorney, the judge will play games with you and interrupt you constantly in attempts to through you off track. You need to go into court prepared to stand your ground and cite state laws and case law to back up your case. If you don't, you will get screwed. |

Any help, or advice? What Bob has said is basically the way it is! Here's what you can do in the mean time to keep them off your back, do pay something on both accounts! Personally I would try to pay $400 on each account if you can afford that, this will show you are bargaining on good faith and if they eventually hall you into court some years from now, you have demonstrated that you paid to the best of your ability as the other 2 children need feeding too. At this point, going for a downward motion is a waste of time and money! |

I have spent the last 5 years avoiding payment.As soon as child support catches up with my job, I quit. I've never gone to jail for it. I just want them to lower it. Do you think they'll lower the 2nd case that is 1086 a month? |

The court takes the position that if you aren't paying the ordered support, it must not be high enough. Yep. If you get behind, they usually raise it. |

I want the 2nd case lowered at least. $1086 is a lot of money. The first kid is only 643 a month. |

What's your monthly income, does your wife work too? She works too, but her income isn't factored in. I was making 3500 a month. I quit when child support caught up. Now I make 12 an hour, so I also need it lowered because I'm not making a lot now. My olests kids mom ****ed me off so I told her to take me to court and she did. I should have stuck with a pack of diapers, and a can of formula each week, but I thought I was hurting her when I refused to help out. She could have got me for 1200 a month, but she settled for 1/2 of daycare, 1/4 of the food bill, and Insurance which came up to $600 a month, and then $43 for arrears. My ex wife, she is a ****. That whore tried to break me. I hooked up with her to make my kids mom mad, the bitch told me she was on the pill, next thing I know I got another kid. I married that bitch to get my first kid's mother mad, but she only cares about my son, and herself. I still feel butterflies when I see her. I'm kind of looking forward to the court date cause I hope she'll be there. I'm also dreading it because I know my ex wife will be there. I hate that whore. |
