What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
My Ex of 14 years quit his job in June because his employer wouldn't give him time off to stay home and take care of his girlfriend after she had surgery. Within a week of quitting he filed for a modification of his child support because he "lost" his job. He is not collecting unemployment. He has told my oldest daughter (17) that he is not going to look for a job because he is going to work for himself. He is a licensed journeyman plumber and I am sure he is "working for himself" for cash.
What are the chances that the court will reduce his support to the minimum amount because he has no income? He has made one $100 voluntary payment since June and is in arrears close to $1000 at this point.
