As we all know, the economy has been in a slump. Many people have lost their jobs or seen their paycheck and hours cut. Every client or potential client I meet with asks how much child support might be.
Most clients are horrified at how high child support can be even with their lowered income. Many wonder how they can survive paying child support with not much left over for all of their bills. It can be especially galling when the other parent seems to be buying new things all of the time. (If this becomes a larger issue, ask your attorney about a Motion for Accounting of Child Support by the Custodial Parent).
So you want to know: How can I lower my child support?
