You would have to file an motion with the court to modifly the orignal child support order. You may have to file in the state where the orignal order was placed. However you might check with an attorney to be sure because all states have different laws. I agree a $1000.00 is alot of child support.

You need to go to the courts where the court order was orginally written at. You cant go there so call them right away and explain what the circumstances are now. The children are yours but you should be able every three yrs to request a modifcation on your payments. It is based on her income and yours. If you income due to cut backs has been decreased and your children are getting benefits thru the military you should make the courts aware of that. When I got divorced in the past my benefits were based on spouse and my income. I was the military person and he was a teacher. I made better money than he did so there for even with a handicapped child I only got $105.00 per week. You can not raise a severely handicapped child on that. I was lucky that I had the miltary to fall back on. She should be ashamed that she is getting everything provided for her and still be greedy. Please take advice and contact the court in the county where your documents are being held. I lived in NJ and so did he at time so court was NJ but when I transferred and he left state if was transferred to the father's location for payments. So you might be able to contact your court house in the county your in and paperwork is in. Where does the boss send your payments to? Find out if it is Calif or state your in? Start there but I would ask for modification and have documentation and proof of everything so that they do not have to do alot of research. You do the research you can help them get it thru faster too.

Ok now.... I also live in the greatest state ever (joking) and in this state child support cannot exceed over 55% of the payee's weekly income. Contact an attorney that doesn't have conslutation fee and ask this. Or you can go to the city county building downtown Indiananpolis on the first floor, eastwing and go to the paternity court office and ask them to direct you to where to find out your answer. There is also por bono lawyers in this state, but they go by your income. Here is one place that has helped me: Lori Boyd, (317) 614-5304. Good luck man.
