Q: I make about 500 a month at my current job and it isn't enough to pay my full child support payment...my payment is 285
I tried to file for a review to lower it but they told me they won't lower it.. When I first got on child support my worker told me that since I didn't have a job my payment would be 285 a month is there anything I can do about lowering it so I can afford it?
A: Here is North Dakota Law regarding periodic review of child support orders. North Dakota Century Code 14-09-08.4 and 14-09-08.6. Other law may apply to your situation. An attorney cannot provide adequate legal advice until first meeting with the client and discussing all facts relevant to the matter. I hope this helps!
A: The first step is to call the child support unit.
