Question:

I recently lost my job and am unemployed. Because of my drop in income I adjusted my child support payments a similar percentage in order to keep the ratio of income to child support the same.

Can I unilaterally modify my child support payments if I lose my job?

Question:

I am required to pay a percentage of work-related childcare expenses for my children per my divorce decree.

My child attends the after-school program at his school that I pay for even though my ex-wife is not currently working and available to watch him.

If she is not working and available to provide free childcare, then am I responsible for paying those childcare expenses?

Question:

Recently, the court determined that my ex-wife is underemployed and imputed her previous income to her for a child support modification motion she had entered.

Now, I have moved, changed jobs, and am attempting to modify the child support between myself and my ex-wife independently.

What should I use for her income? Can I use what the court imputed to her or should I use her current income, which is essentially nothing?

Question:

During my divorce, the economy tanked and my assets in the business were severely diminished even though alimony was based on my income when my business was thriving..

After a few years of unemployment, I finally had to settle for a position that pays half of what I was making. I can no longer pay the original amount of alimony.

Is it possible to get the spousal support reduced or eliminated even if my divorce decree does not indicate what events would trigger an alimony modification?

Question:

Due to my ex-wife’s voluntary unemployment and the fact that I was fired, I would like to modify my child support and ask for a temporary deviance to $0 per week until such time when either party makes 20% more than the other.

Our expenses and amount of parenting time are nearly identical and both of us have experienced drastic reductions in income.

Would this situation be one that qualifies for a modification of child support?
