Re: child support payment modifications
Yes you may modify the child support. No you cannot modify it without a court order. In the 2nd Judicial District Courthouse on the 2nd Floor there is a Pro Se clinic that can help you file the paperwork, i.e., using the correct forms, and you can do this on your own.
A lawyer might make the whole process faster and easier but there is no reason you cannot do this on your own.
Good Luck
