Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
I am in the middle of my divorce and have a final child support order signed by the judge my ex is 1 month behind on support and has alot in arrearages. He is trying to get me to opt out of the friend of the court so that he can pay twice yearly the same amount in support. He said if I don't do this he will file a motion to lower the support amount due to the friend of the court using his gross income and not taxable income. He said he has a lot of deduction he can use to lower his income. FYI he is a realtor which makes him an business owner. Can he re-open the case before the three years is up (michigan) also can he use his taxable income rather than his gross? thank you

Child support is always at issue until a child is 18 or 19.5 if the child has not graduated high school, whichever is later. However, the timing of his being paid does not determine how much he pays. In essence, he is likely wrong. Consulting with an experience attorney in these matters would assist you. http://www.wolverinelaw.com
