Re: child support
He/she can file a petition for modification in the county of the residence of the custodial parent. He/she should contact an attorney in that county.
Re: child support
Working for the family business is almost like being self-employed. It gives the NCP the potential ability to control his income.
That is one reason why child support is based on the ability to earn, rather than "actual" earnings.
The perks and other indirect payments can be charged back as imputed income to the NCP.
This will require a hearing or a very intense negotiation.
