Re: family law

You could file a petition for downward modification based on the fact thatyou had an unanticipated change of circumstances that forced you to return to India. Now that you are back in India you are getting paid less $ (in rupees ) and cannot make your required child support payments. Your ex will probably argue that you did this on purpose and should not be entitled to a downward modification. However, it is worth a shot.

To specifically answer your question, you have the duty to comply with a court order unless the order is amended or modified.
