Re: in need of some advise

You will have to get some kind of repayment plan set up. That is unavoidable. However, you also need to file for a modification of child support right away. In order for the change in child care to be taken into account, you need to ask the court to modify the orders. The court cannot modify the child support retroactively, but it can save you from this point forward. An experienced family law attorney should be able to help you with this situation.
