I am a father of three 9, 16, 22 currently paying child support on all three very active in there lives my question is after working 40hrs at $11 per/hr weekly I bring home approximately $110 - $124 Wkly which makes it darn near impossible to live independently currently in my aunts basement work every day is there any course I can take to reduce the payment, defer payment or eligible for programs to improve my situation. And do I need a lawyer and if so where do I find one that will work with my pay scale. By no means am I complaining just looking for a way to support myself as well humbly I ask for help or advice. Thank you in advance.

Your oldest is an adult and thus no longer entitled to support. You can file a petition to modify support in the court where the order was filed or where your ex is living. You may be eligible for a pro bono (free) or reduced fee attorney through your county bar association so contact them for more information.
