Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

Re: show of cause

You need to get a record of all of your payments. If your financial situation has changed you can go to the Indiana Judiciary Web Site and obtain a form for filing a petition to modify child support. You will need to show your present income and request income information from the custodial parent and then use the child support calculator at the website to determine what child support should be.

The problem that you have, is that modification is not retroactive, so you will not be able to make the adjusted amount back to the time that your income changed.

The impression that I get is that you do not intend to appear in person for the hearing. If my impression is correct, you may be making a big mistake. You need to be there to show the court that you have been making payments, just the correct amount and explain why. Good luck.

Re: show of cause

Go to www.indygov.org/cgi-bin/courts/support.cgi

and you can figure out what you should be paying in child support. If your income has changed, then you can file for a modification of child support.

You need to figure out what your -x- is making as well and the amount of nights that is spent at each home to accurately figure the child support sheet. If you'd like more information, go to our website and click family law- it will give you more information.
