You must appear at the motion or you may be held in Contempt of Court. A tax return showing little income would be proof.

The petitioner has the burden of showing you can afford got pay. The court will want to know why you are not working.

You are required to appear for a motion for contempt. If you want to modify the support you have to file a supplemental petition.
