Legal Question in Family Law in New York
child support ''fairness''
albany cty. i am sole provider for 3 children with my wife. one of children is handicapped. i have a previous relationship which yielded 2 children. why does the court totally disregard the children ''after'' the ones in court. because of arrears and constant battles with a very vengeful ex, i face 6 months in jail leaving a family of four, inc 3 kids( one of which handicapped) vurtually homeless. can a judge actually show a deprivation to a current suituation. it is obviously more detailed but that is basically it. an ex who lives a semi-extragant lifestyle...including 2 dwi's in the last 3 years controlling the situation and refusing an offered payment schedule to make up arrears to basically bust my #@#%. and i barely struggle to meet her high demands of a support order and can barely put a roof over my family now. is it true that the rich get richer and the poor die trying???

Re: child support ''fairness''
The law does provide for such circumstances to be considered in hearing petitions for both modification and/or enforcement of child support orders. As you are aware, there are very serious consequences for violating an order of support; you should conult with counsel immediately and be prepared to hire an attorney to represent you any legal proceeding.
