| Rights for a low income father?
Hello all, I hope someone can help me with this:
My boyfriend has a three year old son. He is currently paying child support and repaying back child support. He is in danger of getting laid off and with all the wage garnishments, he is having great difficulty making ends meet. He barely takes home $700 a month.
The mother of his son recently got married to a man who she said owns his own business. And now my boyfriend has seen his son far less often now that the mother and her husband moved away. (She refuses to drive the additional 15 miles because of gas prices and my boyfriend lost his car in an automobile accident last year and cant afford to buy a new one, otherwise I'm certain he wouldnt mind driving the extra distance to see his son)
She has physical custody of the son. We all live in Los Angeles county, California. I understand he has to file a motion to request a reduction in child support payments and have scheduled visitation rights. Can he go about this without involving a lawyer? He doesn't have any cash to spare. Since he can't afford one and if he is appointed a lawyer, would that lawyer truly work hard for my boyfriend's case? Is there anyway the courts can force her to get a job. She is voluntarily unemployed. She promised the court she would attend school and she dropped out a few months back. Does this fact support my boyfriends case? Does her marriage impact the case at all?
Thank you all,
Vuala_Ahem
