Greetings. Step one is to refile a Motion to Modify. Have you deviated from the guidelines in the order?
I cannot, and will not, comment on any judge, as I have immense respect for them and their position. Please do not ask me to do so. If you wonder about a particular judge’s time on the bench, you can usually ask the clerk of court’s office. Best of luck.

thank you for the response. Can you address the grounds for filing motion to modify. Is a change in cost of healthcare for children grounds. My original order did deviate from the tables, however I was not aware at time. After my divorce, I started research and it is clear that I am overpaying by approx 700 month W/ bonus. They added my bonus in the original calc, used table for sole custody and still gave 25% of bonus. I uderstand you cannot give opinion on Judge as this is public site, just provided for information on situation.
Greetings again. Yes, a change in the numbers can be a reason to modify child support, if the change is a substantial change in circumstances. Are you paying more than 40% of your overall gross income(using a yearly number including all bonuses and other sources of income, such as interest)?

I am trying to reduce my child support. I tried 1x before with Judge William Constangy, however was unsuccessful. Current agreement gives her 1400/month plus 25% bunus. Last yeat total was 23K. Agreement includes 1040 in daycare, however kids were never in daycare. She cried and the Judge declared no reduction. Problem started at beginning. I was advised that was fair, however my attorney let her attorney calculate and used sole custody table. I have over 149 days.
Question: How can I get the judge to recalculate? Agreement will be 3 years old on 11/05. This year my health care goes up over 100 month. Can I use that as grounds? If a file papers, can I not pay bonus money which gets paid in March until court date. Last time it took over 14 months to see Judge. Any chance Judge Constangy is retiring? Any way to change Judges? Thank you
