“The reason “child-support” debt can never be reduced by the court is the Bradley Amendment, named after a Democratic senator from New Jersey and one-time presidential candidate. That law should be repealed. “
This person did not read the Bradley amendment ...
My grand daughter’s child support was just reduced by the court. All it took was a motion to modify and a plausible reason presented to the judge.
I am also aware of cases where less that the minimum required by state law was assigned. A smart person gets a lawyer- many around here will allow you to make payments.
It’s an adversarial system, so you have to advocate on your behalf if you hope to get a better deal.
