Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama

child support modification

Divorced in 1992. Paid $354 monthly up to 12/02. Left insurance business in 10/01 due to stress. Entered golf business in 12/01 making minimum wage. Since 10/02, became golf professional making 21K per year versus 60K in last year of insurance business. Exwife should make about 40K per year. Receive no summer visits from the one child, and no phone calls, basically no contact for the past year. (I divorced exwife due her impotency and child was an artificial insemination.)

Do I have a chance to have $354 modified downward?

Also pay $74 monthly in health insurance. Have two years remaining on support order.

Thank you.

Re: child support modification

modification of a court order (child support) can be modified as a result of a material change of circumstances. your change (job change) may or may not move the judge to modify your decree. you would need strong medical testimony to support your contention that your job change was for "stress". you have a chance, but to receive full advice you need to talk to an attorney and give him/her all of the facts regarding your job change.
