DO YOU HAVE A CALCULATION USED FOR DETERMINING FOR A REDUCTION IN CHILD SUPPORT DUE TO INCREASED PARENTING TIME. DAD HAS CHILDREN 40% OF THE TIME?

My son has been in a child support case for almost 2 1/1 years. There is a child support fee which he pays every month. The case has never been settled in the court. He has paid well over $7,000.00 to two different attornies to get this finished and it has never been resolved. His attorney wants him to get a different attorney since she has to travel 2 hours to the courthouse every time it goes back to court. Which we understand but the mother of the child (ex-girlfriend) is very difficult and sets when my son can have him on his said weekends or not. She has made this very difficult for him and now does he have to get another attorney to enforce his visitation rights and probably end up paying even more for attorney fees just because she won’t stick to the regulations? And why has this case not been closed or atleast settled yet? Can the court keep this open for that long?

JONISE, I don’t have that… sorry… Lynne, I don’t understand all of the details of your comment. If his ex isn’t cooperating with visitation, then, yes, he’s going to need to go back to court…. or mediation… you don’t have to have a lawyer to go to court… if you don’t have a lawyer (pro se), you’ll have to do a lot of work and preparation…
This is a good forum that can help you. And, you can get questions answered by a legal expert for a small fee.
