What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD
NCP filed a request for modification to decrease child support in Sept. 08. He was voluntarily unemployed in Aug. 08. The court date is scheduled for next week.
During the time of unemployment a wage withholding order was partially satisfied by military retirement, however, arrears are in excess of $7,000 and he is back to work but making less money than previously earned.
Child’s expenses have continued to increase due to necessary tutoring, increased childcare costs associated with inclement weather days, days school is closed for professional activities and an altered work schedule. The childcare center is also raising their fees by 15%.
There are additional expenses due to tutoring sessions. Tutoring (started in June, 2008), academic enrichment programs – all recommended by the school and provided by tutors on an approved County school list.
Tutoring is currently once per week when school is in session and will increase to twice weekly during the summer months. Academic enrichment program will be 6 weeks for 2 hours per week.
Tutor and academic enrichment were not calculated during the initial order and now to costing approximately $3400 per year.
My salary has increased by 18% and his has decreased by 15 %, but he still makes more than me. What is the likelihood of the master decreasing the child support based on this information?
Thanks in advance.
