Re: Child Support Laws
need to consult an attorney. perhaps a habeas corpus would bring the action to court's attention for action regarding him being in jail. also a petition to modify needs to be filed to change the amount of child support due since the income situation has changed. it would be important to be current in support before filing the petition to modify.
