Legal Question in Family Law in New Hampshire

Child Support

Child support, need to know how and what is the best way to change what is being taken out of my check. I am only making about 26% of what I was making at my previous job and the state has attached my check for 60% of my income. I am in a very low paying job and this leaves me with only $100 week for me to live off of. What can I do and how do I go about this? Thank you.

Re: Child Support

You need to go to the family court where the order was entered and file a request for modification. Any party may seek a modification of a support order upon showing a "substantial" change in the financial condition of one of the parties. The child support guidelines will apply to modifications of a support order. You will also want to provide the court with an up-to-date financial affidavit. As a seperate note depending on how long your order has been in place, any child support order is modifiable every three years without the need to show change in circumstances.
