Q: How do I get child support stopped?
I have three children ages 12, 8, and 5. Current child support order. No court visitation schedule. Dad is harassing me. Threatening me. Telling me if I do not drop support order "I will see what happens. Children barely see him. I tried to go through child support they said only way they could drop it is if they had a court order. How do I do that? What do I do. His child support was 424 just lowered to 179. It's not like it's a whole lot. He is married works under the table to avoid paying. He says he will not pay me. He doesn't understand the concept of child support. Has only been on child support for 2 years. I have been doing it on my own before and since then.
A: Do you really believe he will not bother you if you drop support? If so, and you want to do this, either you or he would have to file a motion to modify support. You can agree to do so, unless you are receiving government assistance.
