I pay child support to my ex wife for our two children. In our divorce in 2001 it was ordered we have joint custody, the children's primary address would be with their mother, and child support would be in the amount of $500.00/month and continue at $500.00/month until our youngest turned "age of majority". Our children are now 19 and 16.
We have discussed reducing the ordered support to $200.00 or nothing at all, since for the past 3 years we have been living in the same town and the kids are with me half the time. This change would be mutual and uncontested. What papers need to be filed in order to reduce or terminate child support? Also, can we do this ourselves or do we need a lawyer? Do I need to file papers or can she just file to have the child support reduced or terminated?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
