    Default Should I Pay Support Now Or Should I Wait?

    Ive just found out that i owe the child support $16,000 and ive never been to court for this. My ex husband told them that my income was $1100 a month and i wasn't even working at the time. so the whole thing is based on a false income. how do i get it changed. they want $210.00 a month which i have no problem paying but in the state of california thats not even enough to cover the interest. they want to take my lisc away from me for not paying, should i start paying in hopes that my lisc wont be tooken away or should i countine to not pay in hopes of getting the whole thing strightened out? ive been to the leagel aid & they gave me the forms to file for a modification but that will take a while i want to stop from getting my liscense tooken away now.

    What would you be waiting for?

    You should get a lawyer to assist you with reviewing the original order to see if there is any way you might be able to have the figures revisited, and to help you file any appropriate motions. In almost all cases, no modification of child support will occur prior to the date you petition for modification, so if you believe you are presently entitled to modification you need to get the petition filed and thus should not delay in consulting a lawyer.
