My question involves child support in the State of: Washington
I live in Washington and wish to attempt to modify my support. It’s been nearly 8 years since the last mod. I’ve been rather afraid of asking for a modification due to the possibility of my obligation going up.
8 years ago my obligation came out as $467 a month, off of a $9.80/hr job.
I pay my support on time and have never been late or fallen behind as it was set up via DSC as a garnishment.
I’m now finding it really hard to make ends meet and think it’s worth a try. My question is: I’m working a new job where I’m paid under the table. I don’t want to do something if it’s going to potentially cause problems for my employer, or risk me loosing this amazing job.
Has anyone been up front with DSC and said they are paid under the table?
It’s no secret to my ex where I work, but I would like to avoid telling DSC only to protect the business and my job.
Any advice is appreciated.
