    Child support arrearage
    Hello,

    I would like to know how the court system will treat my case. I owe approximately

    50,000 dollars in back child support due to the fact I have been disabled for 3 1/2 years.

    My ex-wife receives 1000 dollars a month for my 2 children, which comes out of my

    Social security. My credit is very bad & my house has been in foreclosure once, & fixing

    To be a second time. My new wife is seeking disability and she just started receiving her

    Met LIfe long term disability. I go to court December 11, 2009 and my ex-wife wants her

    Arrearages paid up.

    What will be the outcome in the state of Florida? I also want to know if I am not seeing

    My children like the child guidelines state. I may see them maybe 4 hours a week with

    No over night visitation.

    I will patiently wait your answer.

    Thanks & God bless.

    Bill

    There is no predicting what a judge will do. However, if you can prove that your arrears were the result of a significant decrease in income, you may be able to get the court to agree to waive some and workout a schedule for the rest.

    You should have applied for a modification of your support as soon as you became disabled.

    As for visitation, that's a separate issue. If the mother is interfering with your couirt ordered visitation, you can ask the court to order her to comply.

    You should have petitioned for a modification three years ago when you became disabled. You can still do it now but I won't promice that it will help with the arrears that have already stacked up it should however prevent more from being added though.
