The increase was due to the increase in minimum wage. Anyone can make that. I suggest you find a job. I realize there are a lot of problems with the economy and I do sympathize with you. Many of my clients are in the same boat. However, you have a responsibility toward your children.
Try to petition the court to have the support lowered. Also if you and the ex agree to a number the court will approve it. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659-
