Mr. Austin filed a motion regarding child support, explaining that he is struggling financially and asking for a $100 reduction in his monthly payments. The support is currently at $459 a month for three children, with additional medical support. He last received a payment in March 2023 and is facing enforcement actions on all three cases. His income has changed since the support was last calculated a year ago due to an accident and job loss. He is starting a new job soon and has reported his income to the state of Michigan.
Mr. Austin previously worked for utilities and GM, making around $14 to $19 an hour. He had to quit the utilities job due to a two-hour commute and high gas prices. He is now starting at a new position next week, but the exact details of his income are still pending confirmation.
The FOC can review child support orders if they are older than three years, the last review is older than three years, or if there has been a change in circumstances since the last review. Mr. Austin may be eligible for a review based on his recent job changes and financial struggles.
It is important for Mr. Austin to provide accurate and up-to-date information about his income and employment status to the FOC to ensure that his child support payments are fair and appropriate. He should also consider discussing his situation with a legal advisor to understand his rights and options regarding child support.
The speaker, Mom is frustrated about Kenlin for constantly lying and shirking his responsibilities as a parent. She questions his ability to support his children financially and criticizes his lack of reliability in holding a job. The speaker is tired of making excuses for her cousin and wants the court to see through his behavior. She explains that she is struggling financially to raise her daughter and believes the child support she receives is insufficient. The court calculates a new child support amount based on Kenlin's income and the number of children he has. The speaker also mentions that Kenlin has not made payments since March and there is money on hold that needs his permission to be released. She hopes for a fair resolution in court and expresses her exhaustion with the situation.
The law does not recommend support changes if it is less than 10% or $25, and the requested change is only $15. Therefore, the motion to modify support was denied. There was money left over from a tax intercept, and it was discussed whether it could go towards arrears. It was decided to check with Heather on the proper procedure for distributing the funds among the cases with arrears. Depending on the policy, the money may need to go to the specific case it was withheld from or be split among all cases with arrears based on the amount owed. It was noted that the money would likely go towards cases from 2010 and 2015, not the newest one.
If you owe back child support, the judge may use different methods to enforce payment. These include:
Withholding money from your paycheck or other income
Placing liens on your real or personal property
Garnishing your federal and state tax refunds
Suspending your driving, occupational, and recreational (hunting/fishing) licenses
Denying or revoking your passport
Contempt proceedings, which can lead to fines, jail time, and other penalties
Material and substantial change in circumstances is a significant change in the circumstances of any of the parents or the child since the date of the last order. This change can be related to the child's needs, the parent's abilities, or any other factors that affect the child's well-being
A minimum threshold has been established for child support to be changed. The threshold is the lesser of 10% of the ordered amount or $50.00 per month. If the change is within the requirement, FOC will petition for a change.
