Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Child Support Arreages
My x has just filed a motion to have arreages from the last 2 years dismissed because he had been incarcerated for the past 2 years in a federal pen. I had been told that being incarcerated is considered ''voluntary unemployment'' in Michigan and that he would not be able to retroactively have arrearges dismissed?!?!
I have accumulated 2 years worth of day care bills (over $10,000) that I have to pay back yet. The day care provider was not making me pay right away becuase I was not receiving child support, with the understanding that when he was released, and started paying the arrearages that I would start repaying them.
Does anyone have any information to support this fact, or point me to a web site that would have any information to help me?

Re: Child Support Arreages
Retroactive lowering of child support is not allowed in Michigan by statute. Just go in and explain to the judge that you had on-going bills raising the child while he languished in jail on some conviction. He still had the obligation to support his child. Bill Stern 248-353-9400
