Frequently Asked Questions
|
My child just moved in with me after living with my ex-spouse. Doesn't my child support stop?
|
In order to stop your current child support, you must get a new court order that changes custody and may require the other parent to begin paying child support.
|
I lost my job. Can I have my child support lowered?
|
Absolutely! However, you must obtain permission from the Court. We can prepare all the documents you need to make that request.
|
Does the Court require that I have an attorney?
|
No. You have the right to represent yourself!
|
Won't the Court appoint an attorney to represent me if I can't afford one?
|
No, the only time a judge is required to appoint an attorney is if there is a possibility you can go to jail and that you are living at the poverty level.
|
How much can I save by representing myself?
|
If you represent yourself, you can save 50% to 75% of what traditional legal representation would cost you.
