Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Recently my ex husband took me to court for modification of child support, due to him owning his own seasonal business and stating he is not make as much $. In front of the judge he stated he didn't make as much money this past year and is laid off in the winter. After court, he told me that he was selling his business and going into the Army Reserves. He will be leaving 03/31/10 and will be gone for at least 6 months. I feel that this information should have been revealed to the judge and may have made an impact on him lowering the child support which was granted, as his financial circumstances have changed. Is there anything I can do after the fact?

Thank you

The court looks to the financial not to what he is going to do. You can always modify the order once he is making a regular pay.
