Q: Paying only child Support and we live in NY
A: David's Answer: Generally you cannot get a reduction. The first children to win the race to the courthouse get the first cut of your income. Each subsequent child you have gets a lesser & lesser percentage of your income. It's a built-in disincentive to discourage people from having children they cannot afford. Even if you were to try filing a petition for modification on the basis you present, a necessary element of same would be your fiancé's ability to earn income - regardless of whether she's actually earning same or not. Schedule a consult with a Dutchess/Westchester Child Support lawyer for a full assessment. -- David Bliven, Westchester Child Support attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
