Question:

I have the results of a recent DNA test, and I am not the biological father. Can I file a motion to modify a child support order if I am in arrears?

Question:

I was in the hospital for depression while my divorce went through court. Since I could not make the court date, my ex lied about my income and said I was making $70k when I didn’t even have a job. We were divorced a long time ago, and I know I should have taken care of things as soon as I was released from the hospital, and I wish I had, but I didn't.

What's my best option? Although I'm working now, I really can not afford an attorney, let alone the child support. She has also refused to let me see my son for the last two years. Any information would be appreciated. I know I did wrong by not taking care of things right away. I'm trying to fix all of that now.

Question:

I am a psychiatrist MD and work four jobs to keep all of my child support and maintenance paid. I have a private practice, a research company and work at two different hospitals. My yearly income is high, but I have a high cost going out. Meanwhile, I work 12 to 15 hour days and work everyday of the week. My day starts at 9am and does not end until 12 or 1am some days. I cannot afford furniture for my home or a new television.

However, my ex only works two days a week, drives a new car, vacations with her boyfriend in exotic places, bought her boyfriend a vehicle and is a psychologist. I have to pay her alimony until the kids are 18. I am 55 and have to work all day everyday to keep her in the lifestyle she is accustomed to. To top if off she continues to harass me about my personal life. Do I have a chance to get any of this reduced? I am going to an early grave and would really like to cut back the pace that I was setting when we were still a single family unit.

Question:

I quit my job at a dealership 6 years ago to start my own business. I have been held to the income I used to make at that dealership though I make less money now. That dealership and many others are out of business now due to the industry and change in the economy. I desperately need my support modified. I live in California and I am wondering how long they can hold me to that non-existent income and what I need to do to go about modifying it.
