Re: child support new hampshire-italy
In order to protect your rights you will need to appear in court and I urge that you have an attorney. You are at a disadvantage by not being in the area from a pure "contact" point of view.
A child support order remains in effect unless and until modified by the Court. If you did not file for an adjustment, you are likely going to be required to pay back due child support before the court considers any forward-looking arrangement.
It is not likely that the court will consider your business situation before the welfare of your child.
As with any legal matter, there is a need for further detail in order to formulate a good response. Examination of your court decree and any modifictions is essential. You should retain an attorney in this matter.
