Question:
If I loose my job can I have my child support payments reduced or stopped via a modification to the original divorce papers?
Answer:
Yes, if the change in income is substantial and continuing. If this is a temporary layoff (example: GM closing plants for 6-9 weeks) it would not be continuing and subject to a modification.
