Modification of Child Support: Don’t Avoid Paying
It’s human nature to want to avoid unpleasant experiences. That’s why there are so many cavities and income tax extension requests. However, one thing that people should not avoid is paying court-ordered child support.
Not everyone follows this advice. According to the Trumball Patch, one man faces two years in prison and a $250,000.00 fine, on top of the $175,000.00 he owes in back child support. Apparently, his aversion to paying child support persisted since 1993.
If you have been ordered to pay child support, and there has been a substantial change in circumstances that has affected your ability to pay, in Florida you may have the option of seeking a modification of your child support order.
