Dear FATHERDORIGHT:
Greetings. Well, if the court ordered you to sell the vehicle, then you should have sold it, even to an auction house, dealer, or junk yard. Now, if you did not do what the court said, then you should make a motion to modify the court order.
Typically child support is not reduced or increased to help with car payments or other typical bills. If you are paying guideline support, I cannot imagine that your child support would change simply because you sold a car and/or increased your debt. Thank you.
