I have been served with a Supplemental Petition for modification of final judgement on a child support case and needed to know what documents I need to file with the court as a response. I don't have funds to have an attorney represent me and need to represent myself. Would you be able to help please.

Are you the custodial parent or the non custodial parent, what are they wanting to modify ? The amount, add a garnishment,

Non Custodial parent and yes amount and garnishment.

First garnishments are fairly standard and it is almost impossible to get that not allowed. Since you are ordered to pay, what defense would you have, I just want to write the check ?

On the amount, have you checked it against the rules and charts for your state ? If that amount is right, according to your actual earnings, then it is right, If it is wrong, you answer the motion with a print out of your states child support guidelines showing that the amount stated is correct. If your earnings have changed over the years, it is common to ask for more.
