Re: reduction of child support

You need to get an attorney. Your not too clear about what happened. Suffice to say paying bills, e.g., food and clothes, is not a substitute for the child support obligation. You need also to get proof he is making money off the books and how much. You may need a private inestigator to find this information out.
