Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

About 7 years ago I was given a court order to pay child support. I was hit with 100% of paying the support b/c the childs mom was not working, etc. She has since remarried and moved out of state with her husband who works full time. I have been repeatedly paying the cost of living increases and was wondering if I would have a case if I were to ask for my payment of $270 per week to be reduced since she has remarried and now has a source of income? I feel I was hit with paying all 100% on the paperwork that was used to determine the amount I was to pay b/c she did not have any income other then her welfare checks but now she has married and moved from NJ to OH which has a lower cost of living I would assume. Please let me know if I would be wasting my time in court to try and do this. Thank you.

I am sure you went to court without an attorney the first time and you can see how well you did that time. It sounds like you have a good case to file a motion but it has to be done the right way. Feel free to call me at 732/773/2768 to discuss.
