Q: Where do we start if we want to get our court ordered child support re-evaluated?
Trying to help a young urban boy get his child support and visitation re-evaluated. Unfortunately, he does not have any original documents. But he is getting a large sum garnished from his very small paycheck (he is a busboy) and in addition the mother will not let him see his daughter. I don't even know where to start without the original court order,e tc. Thanks for any direction you can give us.

A: You should be able to backtrack and obtain the original order. His employer should have a copy of the wage order garnishment. The cause number and location of the court should be on there. You can then contact the clerk of the court for that county and obtain copies of the original documents.
