I am seeking an attorney to pursue a child support modification due to a substantial change in my financial circumstances. I was divorced */*/*, with child support set at $*/month. I recently had to resign from my job due to ongoing physical and mental health limitations and am currently unable to work or maintain my prior income. I begin a *-week intensive outpatient program on */*/*. I have three children. My *-year-old son has autism, lives with me full-time, is unemployed, financially dependent on me, and requires ongoing assistance with transportation, appointments, medications, and adult-transition services. My other two children are minors, ages * and *, with a */* parenting schedule. My ex-husband has not provided the financial disclosures required under Section * of our decree despite my requests. I need help obtaining his financial information, determining whether support should be increased, and pursuing the modification.
It sounds like you may benefit from connecting with an attorney experienced in child support modifications, as this involves both financial disclosures from your ex-spouse and presenting evidence of your changed circumstances. Would you like assistance finding a local attorney to help with this?
Yes I’m unemployed so if it could be free or low cost.
