Child support modification
My ex (37M) and i (24F) recently had an child support order that came into effect in January. We went to court together, it was calculated, and signed by us both.
In our order, my ex does not have to pay anything to me because he is paying the full childcare cost (he gets credit for it) and opted to pay for medical to cover the remaining of what would’ve been owed to me. All well and fine. He had a business he recently closed that he had earned more money from besides his 9-5. His 9-5 was the only income calculated in the order and his income and expenses remains unchanged. Now that he closed the business he is stating he can no longer afford the daycare and doesn’t need it because he has made other arrangements for his parenting time (i am not sure what the arrangements are, he is supposed to tell me per our custody order but has not). He is now, 4 months later, trying to get a recalculation based off the fact that he doesn’t daycare on his days anymore. I still need daycare to maintain employment and there is no such daycare in our area that allows select days to be paid as opposed to the full tuition or a cheaper option (discounted rate, best in the area!) I’m not sure what to do. If the tuition were to become solely my obligation or even half i would not be able to survive.
Edit: summary (sorry!) child’s father and i had recent child support order done 4 months ago, child father is now trying to file for a significant change in circumstance to have the daycare section eliminated (in hopes that would eliminate his obligation) or significantly reduced because he no longer uses daycare during his parenting time. Neither party’s incomes or expenses have changed from the calculation done in January. I still require daycare to maintain employment and my income does not allow me to pick up even half the daycare payment. Is reducing or eliminating this cost really something he can do based on him not using daycare during his time?
