Desperate for advice
sc-I moved from NJ when I got laid off from my job, was making approx $50,000 a yr mostly from overtime. Company closed down, had high blood pressure & moved to get a new start, plus whole family lives in sc. I pay $150 a week for one child. I cant afford it, as much as I would love for my daughter to have whatever I could give her. I cant afford to fly to NJ to file for a reduction. Do I have to be there to file for a reduction. Can this be done through the mail. Or do I need a lawyer to appear for me. Does anyone know what this would cost. I would love for my daughter to be with me, but her mother would not consider it as long as she is getting $150 a week. I know because she gave her up to me once before when she wasnt getting as much. When I had no one to help take care of her, her mother got her back along with higher support. I know if I could get it lowered, my child would be with me. The BM has a job working off the books so I cant prove her income and my daughter is always pawned off to other people because her mother likes to go out a lot. I gross approx 950 every two weeks, and clear approx 380.00 plus have medical on my child. Do I have a chance of having it lowered and can this be done without me having to miss work to fly up to NJ which I dont have the money for. Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
