Probably not. But it's impossible to be certain without a full review of his petition and a discussion of your circumstances.

If you'd like to arrange a consultation, please feel free to get in touch.

The decrease or elimiation in child support should not change the amount he owes in arrears. It just changes what is owed from the date of order. You do need a lawyer to assist you in this matter to protect your rights.
