In these difficult financial times, many are concerned about modification of child support and/or alimony/maintenance payments. While each case needs to be considered on its own, you should be aware that a substantial and continuing change in circumstances- from loss of a job or reduction of gross income- could result in payment of lower child support and/or alimony/maintenance payments. This is an important consideration, not just for the person making those payments, but also for the recipient since such a reduction obviously factors into that person's monthly budgeting. In my particular circumstance, my ex-husband and I try to work together so that we can both adequately address changes in income; however, if you cannot work with your ex, you may want to consider speaking with an attorney. For my practice, I do not charge people for the first consultation to discuss their particular circumstances.
Take care, Allison
