During this time period many people are either losing their job or having their pay cut significantly. This can hinder one’s ability to pay child support. In this situation, what can you do to help yourself?

One effective way to go about this is filing what’s called a “complaint for modification,” or another court order asking for the child support to be changed. 

If you have a large restriction to your income and don’t have the assets to be able to pay it, negotiation is another path that may help. You could negotiate with the other parent, making that effort. It’s important not to simply give up and decide to disobey the court order.
