Question:
My fiancee's child support order was arranged in Nevada. He has been paying 18% of his gross income. We just discovered that Nevada has maximum amounts that child support payments cannot exceed without specific reasons being specified. He has been paying well over those maximum amounts for years. For example, right now he pays over $1500/month and the maximum amount is $600. That is a difference of $10,800/year! The support agreement said nothing about maximum limits - it did not specify any, nor did it give any reason why they should not be honored. Has he been overpaying all these years? If so, can anything be done about it? We now live in Michigan and the mother and child live in Wisconsin. If he renegotiates, does he have to do it through Wisonsin, or can he go through Michigan.
Answer:
If there has been a change in circumstances to make the current child support order unreasonable, you should file a Motion to Modify child support.
