Case Overview: After faithfully paying significant child support, the client faced a financial crisis due to a sudden, involuntary job loss and declining health. The opposing party moved for enforcement, claiming the client intentionally reduced their income to evade parental responsibilities.
Song Law Firm’s Strategic Solution: We focused on proving a “Substantial and Permanent Change of Circumstances”:
-
Medical Evidence: We submitted expert medical testimony connecting the client’s health condition to their diminished earning capacity.
-
Proving Involuntary Loss: We analyzed employment records and job search logs to show the client’s earnest efforts to find work, refuting the “voluntary underemployment” claim.
-
Recalculation Strategy: We proposed a revised support amount based on current income guidelines to ensure a sustainable solution for both the parent and child.
Success Result: The court recognized the client’s genuine hardship and significantly reduced the child support obligation. The client was granted a temporary grace period to recover their health, effectively removing the threat of legal sanctions.
