i am eager to lower my child support.the da has been very difficult to say the least.i have now had to move temporarily home.i have 2 kids,2 ex's,one low support and one high.the judge never took into consideration the paper signed in front of and witnessed by an attorney for low support,instead making it almost 9 times more.i really want to get out of debt and go to do some schooling so that's why i work 3,working on 4 jobs.do i have any options?anything i could do myself?thanks.

a little confused here

you pay support for one child and the other one you pay 9 times the amount of the first?
Support is supposed to be based on income-both parents (in CA, anyway)-was there an amount determined for the other parent as part of the support amount?
You could look up an attorney that gives first consults free or first 30 minutes or so and ask the questions you have-
I'm sure others on here can direct you to child support calculators online so you can see what you should be paying-
you can also look up the child support hand book online-I just put it in a search engine and came up with state guidelines and the support booklet.
I know in CA, visitation time is also figured in to determine support amount-so, what kind of visitation do you have and is it court ordered?
It sounds like your situation may be more complicated than what can be offered here as advice/opinions so consult an attorney.
research all you can, too-online, library, etc....
best wishes to ya;)
