My jurisdiction is: GA
I was served papers this morning that my ex is taking me back to court for a reduction in child support due to changes in circumstances - he's currently unemployed.
I am so upset. I wish he had just asked to pay less until he had gotten on his feet again, because I have NO money to pay an attorney. My teenage daughter (not his) from a previous marriage tried to commit suicide last year and is in and out of psychiatric hospitals, and I am up to my eyeballs in medical debt.
My questions are, how difficult will it be to represent myself? What do I need to do to represent myself? What is usually the procedure in support modifications? Any helpful hints?
I don't have credit cards, or parents to loan me the money. I'm just a state worker with very limited means trying to do the best for my kids. I carry the health insurance; that seems to matter to the court.
He may be unemployed, but the cost of everything has risen, and I can't see how he thinks he should pay less now.
Thanks for your help.
