(Assuming you make at least minimum wage. The law presumes that all parents are capable of making at least minimum wage, 40 hours a week, for support calculation purposes. That's $1,525 per month, at this time.) You are entitled to a a review of support amounts every 35 months, and you can also file to modify based on a substantial change in circumstances from the last order - i.e., if you lose a job, &c. You should consult with an attorney in private if you need to do this.
   
   Note that you will probably think that even the "correct" amount of child support is too high. Everyone who pays support always does.

   Good luck.

The answers I provide are for general information only and are NOT INTENDED AS LEGAL ADVICE and therefore must not be relied upon. Legal advice must be based on the interaction between an attorney and client and specific exact facts and the law. I do not retain clients without a signed RETAINER AGREEMENT. The Avvo forum does not allow for the discussion and the interaction necessary to form a complete legal analysis. Therefore the answers given to any specific question would most likely be different if there was attorney-client interaction. The exchange of information through this forum does not establish such an attorney client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only by personal and direct consultation with me followed by the execution of a written attorney-client agreement signed by each of us. The communications on this website are not privileged nor are they confidential and I assume no duty to anyone by my participation on Avvo or because I have answered or commented on a question. All legal proceedings involve deadlines and statutory time limiting statutes. So that legal rights are not lost for failure to timely take appropriate action and because I do not provide legal advice in the answers to any question, if you are an interested party you should promptly and personally consult with an qualified attorney for legal advice licensed in the proper jurisdiction. Finally, see Avvo's terms and conditions of use, specifically item 9, incorporated by this reference. less

   Answered January 24, 2013 16:32. this seems very unfair. but when dealing with these guys, it usually is. mistakes are made and many times the dad has to suffer. i am not sure you can sue them for their failures. however, you should be able to convince a judge to give you some relief by their mistakes if proven. contact a local attorney and present that proof.
