How do I go about lower my child support payments because I’m not working

A) If you are experiencing financial hardship and are unable to pay your child support, you may be able to request a modification of your child support order. The process for modifying child support varies by state, but generally, you will need to file a petition with the court that issued your original child support order.

To get started, you should contact the agency responsible for handling child support in your state. They will be able to provide you with information on the specific process for modifying child support in your state and any forms or documents you need to complete. In general, you will need to demonstrate a significant change in circumstances since the time your child support order was issued. This could include losing your job, experiencing a reduction in income, or having a change in custody arrangements.

Once you have filed a petition to modify child support, you may need to attend a hearing to present your case to the court. The court will consider your financial situation, as well as the needs of your children, when determining whether to modify your child support order.

It is important to note that you should not stop making child support payments while your petition to modify child support is pending. If you are unable to make the full payment amount, you should contact the agency responsible for handling child support in your state to discuss your options.

I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best in resolving your child support situation.
