My question involves child support in the State of: Virginia
Hello,
I have a 15 year old son with an ex-girlfriend. I have been paying child support this whole time and am also paying for his medical and dental insurance. 3 months ago she filed a motion to have my income reviewed and we found out that I have been overpaying her by $200 a month. Obviously, she was very unhappy and shocked. Once we got into the courtroom the judge asked her if she wanted it lowered, and she withdrew the motion and the case was dropped. I then filed a motion to have my income reviwed (since the Judge would not let me do it on that day), this court date is in 2 weeks.
She has hired a lawyer who has issued my with a subpoena duces tecum. I was not lying or witholding any income from the court on the original court date that she filed agasint me. I have had a lower paying job for the past 2 years and a new child with my current wife. I never filed a motion to have it reduced when my income was lowered, but now that i realize that i am paying too much, i wish to have it lower.
Do I need a lawyer on my court date? I am afraid that her lawyer could do something that I will not be able to defend myself against. I am just an honest guy trying to be a good parent and trying not to get taken advantage of.
Thanks for your time.
