Re: Waiving child support

In your motion you need to explain to thejudge the change of circumstances. If you told the judge that you are waiving child support because of the job offer, there would be no need for the judge to take evidence or if the father will admit to the job offer in court.

If you had a lawyer in the first hearing, it might be harder because he should have no better and protected you from the eventuality that the offer would fall through

Re: Waiving child support

You simply have to file a motion of child support. Ask him first to pay.
