Could the repayment of Federal Student loans cause your child support amount to reduce?
If you have to pay back federal student loans, can you get a child support modification. For those of you who think I am trying to avoid child support, that is not true. Since both are federal mandate payments(meaning you can not file bankruptcy to get rid of them, than it should be included into the guideline). Also getting educated not only benefits myself, but the child too. Because if I am able to get a better paying job, it will help increase the child standard of living too.
When paying child support – it all about your income – regardless of your bills – if you made 50k last year and are now jobless but the divorce was filed while you had a job you will still be responsible for the amount that is determined by your last years income as of the divorce date.
