My 12 year old son's father is requesting a modification because he lost his job a year ago... and hasn't been able to find a new job. Problem with this request is he has had absolute NO consistent involvement in his life since he was born. All in all, he's probably seen him about a dozen times. Before receiving the modification request in the mail, our last contact had been 3 years. To keep drama at a minimum, when payments stopped, I did reach out to him, with no reply and didn't bother. I was of course livid after receiving the notice and objected to it. I, in turn, filed an abandonment warrant and the solicitor was ready to haul him off to jail. I spared him going to jail and asked the court to give him time to come up with his payment, which they did. His payment is 630 a month and Child Support made a recommendation to reduce it 150. He miraculously came up with the 600 to avoid jail, having 2 weeks to do so. To make matters worse, my ex-husband (of now 7 years) takes my 12 year old with him during visitation with my 8 year old so he wouldn't feel left out. In return, I compromised with giving him a reduction in his child support. Not that this matters, but my 12 year old is a straight A student, in various academic clubs and medaled in academic competitions, and is an all-star travel baseball player. All of these things cost, both time and financially, that I do alone. He's currently 6500 in arrears. I'm completely aggravated with him and I want to know what to expect as we have court coming up.
