Re: need help with child support case
You want to file a Motion to Modify Child Support, along with some other supplement forms the court requires (the Domestic Case Information Report and your Financial Statement). If you want to file this yourself, the MD courts provide step-by-step guides and fillable forms here: http://www.courts.state.md.us/family/forms/childsupport.html
Your local bar association or county court may provide a "pro se" project to aid individuals in handling matters themselves.
