Quoting
melaboo
This is for the state of Mass
In August my ex stopped paying support. He quit his job becouse of "mental distress". Supposedly his therapist told him to quit work and go back to school full time,, so he did. He filed a modification a month later.
Anyways, I filed for contempt and both hearings are in late January. He seems to think since he filed for a modification in September and hasn't paid a penny to me,, he will only have to pay arrears in the amount he has to pay from here on. Say the order says he has to pay 50 bucks a week,, he will only owe 50 bucks a week from September. Is that true? Will the court even lower the child support since he gave up his job,, and is now going to school full time?
