Re: child support and college costs
I agree with Mr. Moore, but you are in a tough position. I doubt you can afford an attorney and she is going to argue that you can make a certain amount of money. There is no need for you to be borrowing money to pay child support. Sounds like you tried to do this without an attorney and really paid the price. Its not going to get any easier.
