US dad-volunteer in Africa-child sup adv
My ex wife remarried and their needs are comfortably met. When we div the agreement was that 1 pay 1k/mo for our 2 kids until the one turns 18 (just happened).Payments were to begin in Nov 06, but I have no income here. Ive been helping in Africa for 4+ years. I asked my ex to include cash I paid prev to help her through a tough time and apply it to cover hese first few months. then I asked if I could reduce the amount on my remaining child under 18 to something like 200/month- paid irregularly as I can find something from time totime. she knows I have nothing yet is acting like she is shocked.
I looked on the calculator, and even if I was earning, the amount would be around 200/250 at most -I couldn't afford to come last year, but in the 2 prev years I had to spend a fortune- about 7k- to have them out in Calif for 6 weeks with me- hotel, food, gas, 1800 RT air from Africa, etc. I understand there should be some allowance for that- is that true. the jurisdiction is Ohio. Which agency/contact should I talk to /email to try to reach an agreement to modify the arrangement. Since it wasnt a court-ordered enforcement, just an agreement between us, can I xtill petition for the amounts to be modified as to the reality of the situation? Thanks for your thoughts. |

Yes you can ask her to reduce it if she does not agree you may go to court and get an amount set based on your income and prospects etc. --best to get it settled if possible so she does not go to court and seek back pay etc.
