My (ex) wife just filed for divorce that is non contested. She got a lawyer, but I did not. Her expenses are listed in the papers for calculation of child support. I have no problem paying child support, but the amount is too high. My expenses were NOT calculated in order to come up with this specific dollar amount. How do I go about getting my expenses calcualted in order to adjust the dollar amount? Do I need a lawyer? Or can I go about this w/o a lawyer? Please help.

Answer:

Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Kansas. Some jurisdictions consider your income and her income in determining child support, while others only consider your income. You can file paperwork with the court regarding your income and expenses. it is always advisable to get counsel if you are not happy with what has been offered to you.
