I need advise immediently! I live in Butler County, Ohio, I have been at my job for over 4 years now. I work 12 hour days, 6 days a week, on third shift. I am burned out. I have to work these hours because otherwise I can not survive on what I am bringing home after child support. On a regular 40 hour week I can't even afford to pay my house payment, so I work overtime, then my child support goes up because I have this added income. I can't win for losing. My ex has took me to court several times to get more support, and she keeps winning, even though she is very wealthy with her new husband. I have explained my situation to the courts but they could care a less if I am barely surviving.
I have seen a doctor several times due to stress and migraines from my job. I have spoken to my boss about this and he has no options for me. My question is; how would quitting my job affect my child support? I have thought about going into business for myself, but there is no way I will be able to pay the amount of child support that I am paying now. My ex would never agree to take a reduction. Will I be ordered to pay the same amount, would they make an adjustment, or am I basically stuck working at this job that is killing me, just so I can continue giving 60% of my check to my child support obligation? I do not want to get away from taking care of my children. I love them, they are my life and they are living very well. But, for once, I would like to benefit some way from my working my butt off.
