If you find yourself in a position where you cannot afford to pay court-ordered child support, you can file a petition to amend it. These petitions are available on the southern judicial court’s website for use if you cannot afford an attorney, which is the case for many.
If your case is going through child support enforcement, they do an automatic check on it. All you have to do is request a modification every three years unless there have been changes before that point. If this is the case, you can ask for a modification of the court.
