Legal Question in Family Law in California
Child Care Modification
My son's divorce was finalized nearly three years ago. Sortly after the divorce he lost his job and has been on a downhill sprial ever since. Well behind on his support payments, living on the street (or in his car) and still un-employed. Last job he had he was making 35% less than he was when the decree was granted. He fears that any job he gets now will result in 100% wage garnishment for past due support etc. What are his options? Can he get the support reduced? Amnisty for arrears support? Is this somehting legal aid could help with or is a full attorney going to be the best solution. Your response and recommendation is very much appreciated.

In a general sense, your son should seek a modification of the underlying order based upon the changed circumstances. The sooner the better. They can only take 50% of his wages, not 100%.
For a specific opinion regarding your son's individual circumstances, I suggest that he consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
