Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
I requested a child support modification in March. The final court date is set for late August. My financial situation has changed quite a bit since it was first ordered. To put it in perspective, I have received $2,000 take home YTD, and paid $6,000 to child support YTD. My last two checks (for two weeks each) have totalled $144 together. I obviously can't live on this and have been borrowing money to even survive.
Can this process be expedited at all? I obviously have no problem paying my portion, but I am going to be homeless by the time August comes around.
The new order states that I will be paying $440 per month, whereas I am currently paying $1200 per month.
Please help.

Is it coming out of your paycheck? They should only be taking 50% of your net at the most. Or are you sending in the full amount voluntarily? THERE ARE SOME INSTANCES (and I am NOT advising that yours is one for them) where it may be ok just to send in as much as you are able pending the modification hearing.
We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options in thie matter.
One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.
