You would have to go back to court for the amount to be changed

I ALMOST DON'T WANT TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION. BUT ATLEAST YOU PAY IT. THERE IS A WAY - YOU GO TO THE CHILD SUPPORT OFFICE AND TELL THEM YOUR INCOME AND TELL THEM YOUR SITUATION AND THEY WILL BASE YOUR CHILD SUPPORT ON THAT. HOWEVER IF YOU HAVE A 1000.00 NEW CAR PAYMENT BILL AND SUCH AND ARE SPENDING YOUR MONEY NEEDLESSLY THEY WILL TAKE THAN INTO ACCOUNT. SO THOUGH YOU AR BEING A GOOD DAD BY PAYING THE SUPPORT ALSO COSIDER WHAT YOURE SPENDING YOUR MONEY ON ALSO.

You would need to go back to court and probably bring all your bills and explain why you can't make the monthly payment you are making. Seriously just take your paycheck stubs and all your bills. But if your trying to get out of paying well then....that's wrong. I do think you should pay child support, but if you are having a hard time with monthly bills then it should be reduced.

No, you cannot. Child support is based soley on your income, and your bills and any other expenses are not taken into consideration at all. (Don't try sending less, if you are paying personally, otherwise the FRO (Family Resonsibilty Office-you can look them up in the blue pages..under government listings) will make a direct deduction from your pay cheque. Good luck!

The ONLY way to get a relevant answer is to answer these questions. 1. WHEN was the last support / modification order issued? 2. In what state was the last support / modification order issued? 3. How many days a year do you have visitation / custody? 4. What are you ordered to pay in the last support / modification order? 5. What change of circumstances can you prove that would allow the court to modify the order?

The only way to reduce child support payment is request it. Then you would have to show the following: 1) that you don't earn the same as you did when the amount was first factored. 2) that your time with the children has increased thereby changing the equation used to factor child support. 3) that your ex spouse's earnings are far greater than your which makes you eligible for a lower support amount. Your bills and other costs are not reviewed when a child support amount is created. Good luck.
