Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
Lost my job and want to know If I can modify child support
I was severed from DHL in October 2008 and have recently gone back to school and now collect unemployment. Can I modify my child support until I am out of school and find gameful employment! I live in Michigan and my son lives in Missouri. I have used an attorney in the past but of course would find it hard to hire one but I could probably borrow the money to hire one. Thanks for you help

Re: Lost my job and want to know If I can modify child support
If the Court Order for child support was issued in Missouri and your son lives in Missouri then you will need to file a Motion to Modify in Missouri (in the same court). You definitely do have a change in circumstances that could be the basis for a modification, but you should consult with an attorney to determine whether it would be practical to file now.
