Q: Modification of Child Support for Incarcerated in New York State
My Fiance is currently incarcerated in New York State. He keeps receiving child support bills and the total amount keeps adding up. Is there a way to suspend child support payments until he is released in 2022 or 2023? If so, do we file a modification petition and what would we state within the modification petition? I just don't want to see us struggle with debt when when he is released.
A: You state that he is incarcerated and state his income - if any.
