Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

You can use the pretrial discovery process to demand documents about work history, pay records, etc from your ex. Obviously you don't know how to do this, and this is why you need to engage the services of an experienced family attorney. Contact the lawyer referral service of your county bar association to see if you financially qualify for a reduced fee or even a pro bono (free) attorney. You can also subpoena the former employer to come to court with your ex's pay records, although this wouldn't be necessary if your ex stipulates as to his former income. If you are properly prepared for court, you should be able to easily establish that your ex's earning ability is sufficient to justify retention of his current child support obligation or something close to it.
