Re: child support modification

You probably are required to provide all the documents to her lawyer. You can check Family Law Rule 12.285 for a general list of the documents you must provide. It's possible you may have to provide more documents than those listed in the rule. Additionally, you'll have to provide a financial affidavit.

Since your husband isn't working, it isn't very likely you'll have to pay her lawyer, but you should strongly consider getting one of your own.
