Question:

Since the time my child support payments were calculated, I have lost my small business, most of my income, and my ex-wife has gotten a job, which she didn't have at the time of the divorce.

I am now being threatened with jail time because I can no longer afford paying child support.

Can I get child support modified given my drop in income and the fact that my ex-wife is now working?

Question:

Will the courts lower my child support if I voluntarily chose to accept a job with lower pay?

I would like to return to the profession I worked in prior to my marriage that I really enjoyed, but it would come at a substantial decrease in pay for at least a few years.

Would the divorce court be likely to adjust my child support amount to reflect the decreased income or would it be viewed as an elective decision to take a lesser paying job?

Question:

My sister and her child's father agreed to a child support plan below what the court ordered because the father's income has dropped. My sister would now like to re-open the support issue and obtain the full amount she should be receiving. Is this possible?

Also, if she applied for state aid, would that qualify as a change of circumstances worthy of a modification of a child support?

Question:

How is child support calculated when income is derived entirely from dividends and capital gains rather than "earned income" from a job?

What happens if some of one's income-producing assets are subsequently liquidated for the purpose of buying a house? Is projected income then reduced?
