Legal Question in Family Law in New Mexico
Unable to pay child support due to the fact of prior existing child support and the need to support current family (wife and baby). Driver's license has been suspended. Unable to locate ex-wife and/or missing child since 2007 but child support has accumulated and I can't pay such amount. Can't get any assistance to find my missing daughter. I DO NOT RECEIVE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE BUT I CAN'T AFFORD LEGAL HELP WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. I'M DESPERATE, PLEASE BE HUMAN AND HELP ME SOMEHOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Your problem is a difficult one because you chose to have children and those children are entitled to support by law. Your obligations to your present family do not relieve you from your obligations to your prior children. Your only remedy is to return to the court which granted you a divorce from your first wife and ask that your child support obligation be reduced based upon your present income and other obligations. Other than that, there is no legal remedy for you and no simple solution to your problem.
