Child Support and the Loss of Your Job—Protecting Your Legal Rights

It is possible to modify your child support obligation because you lost your job, but it’s not an easy process. Courts are reluctant to issue an order reducing a support obligation without evidence that you have used all means available to find replacement employment. You may have to provide the court with detailed documentation of your job search, including copies of applications and rejection letters, as well as e-mails and phone logs. The courts will also be hesitant to reduce a support obligation if you have only been unemployed for a short period of time.

As your attorney, I will carefully gather, evaluate and preserve all evidence to support your notice of motion for modification of a support order. I will prepare and file all necessary documents, and will be your advocate in all hearings or proceedings.
