Hi Gamble,
I hope we can provide some assistance. It is true that the courts generally take a hard-line on child support and are not likely to deviate from the guideline amount, regardless of the payor's expenses, living conditions, etc. As far as your case is concerned, I highly recommend having someone go to the courthouse and make a copy of your court file. You will then know when the last order was made (one of my questions to you) etc. If you can get me a little more information about your case, like a copy of the last order, I can prepare a skeleton motion for you to use as an example if you are going to be representing yourself. Ignoring the situation can lead to disastrous consequences as DCSS can take your driver's license and eventually bring a contempt action against you.

You should also know that you can use willful concealment of the child as a defense against unpaid support, and I can get you more information about that.

I do understand your frustration with the legal system. Isaac
