My health goes worse to worst after long time divorce. If I need to take long term sick leave without job and income, what should I do to handle the child support?

My response:

Then you start selling things - - like your computer. You feed your kids. That's your first, only, and primary responsibility.

Until you're dead.

You can file for a reduction. However there is no telling what a judge will order. Your children's needs are still there even though you are sick and can't work. You may want to see if you are eligible for any kind of disability income.

Unless you qualify for social security disability, after which your children would receive benefits instead of child support, you still owe arrearages and child support out of any income you receive. You just don't get to take time off from supporting your children.

What exactl;y is your medical problem?

What is the real issue, owing on two houses, losing your job?

Dan,

If you are really sick and cannot work then that is one thing. However in a previous thread you said that you lost your job and cannot pay your child support, and in another thread you were arguing with her over who should pay which mortgage payment.

Since you and your extranged wife have one mortgage at 1000.00 a month and another mortgage at 2000.00 a month it doesn't appear that you are without assets. You may have to dip into those assets to support both yourself and your children while you are ill.
