Question:
I have heard that in my state, only a minimum of a 20% increase in income would warrant a modification of child support. My income has increased, but not by 20%. My ex has filed a hearing to determine if I should pay more child support.
I don't want to have to hire an attorney to represent me since I live out of state and can't make this hearing. Can someone other than an attorney show up on my behalf and provide records of my income to prove what I make?
Can I get this matter dismissed because the hearing is not warranted in the first place because I didn't have a large enough increase in income?
