My question involves child support in the State of: New Jersey
I'm not a NJ resident. I live in Arkansas, but my ex-wife lives in New Jersey with our son. I requested a motion with the court in New Jersey to have my child support payments reduced to reflect my change in income status. To elaborate, the court configured my child support amount to reflect my income while I was in the military. I got out of the military 4 months before our divorce was final, but I don't suppose they care too much to take that under consideration. So I request a motion to have the amount reduced, because I haven't been able to find work since I got out. And my ex-wife responds with a cross-motion to enforce litigation, contending that I haven't no intention of looking for work & asking that I be required to pay the full amount in arrears within 30 days or face a bench warrant. What is the appropriate way to respond. I didn't get a lawyer because I didn't foresee it being any more than a formality. I certainly didn't think that I'd be attacked for something out of my control.
I feel totally screwed, & honestly, there's a lot more to the story that would probably spin heads. I'm probably an idiot, & I don't see how anything good is going to come out of this. I just don't know what to do anymore, & I feel completely beaten.![]()
