Out of all the horror stories I hear about, 90% involve someone without an attorney. My fees are very reasonable. When you go to court without an attorney, everything seems to go wrong.

I would be that you are paying way too much in child support. This is why I tell people to get an attorney in the first place. I would be that you are paying way too much in child support.

I recently filed pro se to modify my child support. I have 2 children from previous marriage, now I have 3 from my present marriage and now unemployed. Courts modified using what I use to make at previous employer, and even that amount was not correct. Do I appeal??? Get a lawyer??? Very frustrated and struggling financially. CV Galante Hello.

I cannot tell anyone to do something now or later or ever. However, I can say that anyone having any child support issues or any court matters should meet with an attorney before doing anything. The Court will tell you the same thing if you try to file pro se. In addition, just because you hire an attorney when you lose your job does not mean that the attorney will advise you to file a motion right away. As an attorney, I certainly know about the various child support laws such as the ARS but when you have a limited supply of funds to hire an attorney, filing a motion right away is rarely a smart idea. Instead, working with an attorney that will develop a long term strategy with you and then file a motion is probably the better move. Of course, arrears will build up but that is the system that we live in. I don't like it anymore than the people paying the child support.

There is a problem with that. It's called NJSA 2A:17-56.23 (anti-retroactive statute)--the Bradley Amendment. If you don't file a motion immediately upon losing your job, you cannot modify any arrearages except from the time you file the motion. In today's economy, a lot of child support payors were making big "bucks" and are now on unemployment. And, a lot of these payors were paying big support & alimony orders like 3,000 per month and up. I had lawyers telling members of my group to wait 3-5 months to file. In several cases that would've put the payor almost $20,000-$25,000 behind in arrearages with no hope of modifying or recouping that money because of the Bradley Amendment. You need to elucidate this position because a lot of people paying support & alimony are becoming unemployed in this economy.
