Ask a Lawyer: How to adjust child support monies?

Sep 06, 2009

Question:

My (ex) wife just filed for divorce that is non contested. She got a lawyer, but I did not. Her expenses are listed in the papers for calculation of child support. I have no problem paying child support, but the amount is too high. My expenses were NOT calculated in order to come up with this specific dollar amount. How do I go about getting my expenses calcualted in order to adjust the dollar amount? Do I need a lawyer? Or can I go about this w/o a lawyer? Please help.

Answer:

Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Kansas. Some jurisdictions consider your income and her income in determining child support, while others only consider your income. You can file paperwork with the court regarding your income and expenses. it is always advisable to get counsel if you are not happy with what has been offered to you.

Ask a Lawyer: Child Support when ex-spouse makes more than Father now

Nov 29, 1999

Question:

Due to an unfortunate series of events, an Indiana Father of two - 10 and 13 - has had to start new career outside of medical field he was a part of for 22 yrs. Now he is making less than his ex-spouse, but still paying child support, although somewhat reduced recently as to the amount. But he is now several months behind in mortgage payments for his own home. The children live there more than 50% of the time. The court has found the Father to be in contempt for putting a roof over his own kids head rather than staying current to the ex-spouse who is making considerably more income. What should I do?. I'm about to lose my home. I was told by the prosecuting atty. that I had better stay current.

Answer:

If the support has been modified and is within your State's guidelines for the calculation of child support there is little else to do legally. You may want to look at the debt consolidation and counseling specialists.
