What is the name of your state? Virginia
Please give your honest thoughts.
Both parents have joint custody while mom is primary physical custodian and dad gets 1 week a month for visitation.
Court order for visitation and support was entered into Dec 2005. Dad had children from previous relationship which he claimed for a deduction in child support order and at the time traveled for work while stating daycare was not needed for the week visitation or summers. Now it's June (6 months later) and he is claiming the children for the past couple months have been with a babysitter but now is switching to a daycare facility and quit his traveling job for a lower paying non-travel job and wants modification of child support because lower income, daycare costs of children and now is taking his children from his previous relationship for the summer which is an added cost.
Dad changed jobs 3 months after the court order (3 months ago) but has yet to pay any child support. So Mom filed a show cause. The change in child care, etc have now occured after Dad recieved the show cause hearing information.
Will the court consider a modification of support with the court order being less than a year old and Dad voluntarily quitting his higher paying job?
