Job Loss and Child Support – Can I Modify the Amount?

[ChristopherAdams]

I lost my job while in the process of divorcing through midivorcepapers.com, and I am concerned about my ability to pay child support. My income has significantly decreased, and I want to avoid falling behind on payments. Can I request a modification before the court finalizes the divorce, or do I have to wait until payments officially begin? What legal steps should I take to adjust the child support order to reflect my current financial situation? Will the court consider my temporary unemployment when deciding on the final amount?

Are you in England/wales ?

What terrible timing.

Yes you need to tell them, and should you get another job before the process is complete update them again. If you don’t get a new one until it’s finalise you should contact your ex and make cms arrangements as soon as you have been paid once
