I just received court papers from my ex- husband. He is requesting a downward modification in support as per our divorce agreement due to my oldest sons 22nd birthday. I have no issue with this since it is in our agreement. However my question is how will the modification be figured. This is not a clear cut case of reducing the support form 31% for 4 children to 29% for three children. As per our divorce agreement my ex was paying a modified amount of 930.00 a month due to the fact our children were getting SSD( 104.00 a month each child) due to his disability. Since the time of the agreement I have been permanently disabled and my children are now getting a higher amount of SSD due to my disability. Since there was no provision in our divorce agreement for how a downward modification would be made upon emancipation how will this be figured out so it is equitable.Are there any specific laws with respect to SSD being figured in as support. I plan on contacting SSD to find out how much of the monthly amount my children receive is due to my disability. If you can be of any assistance in answering my questions I would appreciate you help. I would like to prepared with the proper information upon going to court. Thanks
