Re: Child Support

You are not required to make payments for your husband. Your husband or if he gives you a power of attorney can file for a temporary modification of child support.

If your husband is getting disability, unemployment or social security payments you will need to disclose that aa well as filing out a new financial statement for him.

Good Luck.

Re: Child Support

Your husband should immediately seek to reduce his child support payment. You are not responsible for supporting his children of a prior relationship, but you should not wait long to file and serve a modification complaint.

You should get a lawyer's help, and you should have the essential medical reports ready.
