lower support?

[therickman]

Minnesota. Joint legal and physical. The Judgment and Decree states:"The Res shall pay the Pet, as and for child support $350 per month etc...At such time as child support is reviewed because of Res. move from the state of Minnesota, said child support shall be retroactive to the date of the move." She was earning $50k and I $35K at divorce April 2000. She quite her job in MINN in June and moved to MASS and started a new job in MASS for $35K in Nov. (I'm now at $31K). She wants to lower her support payment. If I disagree, and I do, what is the court likely to say about the support issue? Thanks. Rick

My response:

With everything else being equal; i.e., child's needs have remained the same, then in the absense of an extreme change in circumstances, the court would, under this set of facts will undoubtedly tell her, "Get a better paying job. It's not your child's fault that you moved and took a lower paying job. Support amount remains unchanged. Petition for reduction denied."
