Temporary Reduction of child support

[dieselsmom]

What is the name of your state?FL

My husband pays $800/mo in child support. On July 1 he retired from the military and we moved down to FL to be closer to his kids;I am a self employed Realtor and have not made any money yet and my husband's income dropped from $100k to $25K pension. We've been having to borrow money from family to pay child support and our monthly bills. My husband has been looking for a new job but not found anything yet. is it possible to have the child support stopped or dropped until he finds a job?
If yes, how would we go about the process of doing that?

A modification can be done whenever there has been a change of circumstances, such as retiring from the military.

The first thing your husband needs to do is to file a motion with the court in MD to change venue/jurisdiction to Florida, since both parties now live in Fl.

Once the order is transferred he needs to file for the modification. He can do this himself by going to [url]www.flcourts.org/[/url] for the forms and other info.

Just gotta ask: what military job did your hubby have that paid him $100K? MD? MD with flight status?
