Posted by TheRabbitThat begs the question of, prior to his disability, he/she should continue paying the child support. When the disability occurs, then he could have applied for a modification of support, that would take into account his new level of income.
If he becomes disabled and unable to work.
Posted by TheRabbitMind pming me it? I'd like to know.Posted by nikkistarModification may take some time and some family court judges are vindictive cunts. So if the arrears were post disability, that would be the only excuse.Posted by TheRabbitThat begs the question of, prior to his disability, he/she should continue paying the child support.

So is there really any justification for any parent, to be in arrears in the thousands, if modifications can occur that would decrease the support to a manageable amount?
I'd say there's another reason, but it might be triggering for some folks with less than stellar abilities to view a situation in objective terms, and I simply don't want to sort through all the hate notifications I'd get.click to expand
Posted by saggurl88I like this answer.
This is a sticky situation. I think that it sucks for the deadbeat parent to lose their license and get jail time for not paying child support but at the same time It would just depend. If the parent was able to take the kid on all vacations out of school and summertime, I wouldn't have any issues with him not paying.
If I was in a 2 parent relationship and providing for me and my kid/or kids and had support from my man, it would also be a non issue. I wouldn't care if he was taking care of his other kids. If they have money like that, I would at least ask for some sort of payment into a college fund that he could set up for the kid but other then that, what he does with his new family isn't really an issue if I'm not a single parent.
As a single parent, I would expect more help though and I would be upset that he wasn't providing.
Posted by TheRabbitModification takes forever. 10 months to be precise. So, if you get laid off or hurt and let them know, all that money racks up until the court date.Posted by nikkistarModification may take some time and some family court judges are vindictive cunts.
