20 years isn't going to count at all. You remember the dotcom crash? Exactly.
I'm understanding this is going to work in his favor. An AG attorney said they'll only review this years income stubs. I asked him why doesn't every Dad paying child support take a lesser paying job for a year, get it reduced, and go back to their career? He said because every Dad isn't that ambitiously trying to get it lowered, or doesn't know they can. He said it's that simple to get it lowered. Tough nut to swallow, I thought to ask here in case there was any new light to be shed. Thanks for responding!

I was trying to explain why the courts don't have time to deal with cases where the parent is already paying child support. Life is unfair. The time and energy the courts have will be spent on parents not receiving any child support compared to a parent that is receiving child support. It doesn't matter what you think about his earnings potential. Has it crossed your mind that if you push him on this that he may leave Texas and move to another state where he is making less money than he is now. Or he could stay in Texas and take a lower paying job that results in you being paid less in child support that you are currently receiving. He can request a Modification of child support based on making less.
He's already done all of that. He's filed a modification to have it lowered based on this years earnings. He did stay in Texas and take a lower paying job. He doesn't always pay, he's in arrears. Yes, life is unfair. Thanks for your response.
