Child Support Modification

I would not advise that you represent yourself in such a proceeding, however, you may proceed without an attorney if you choose. Having an attorney can ensure that you will everything that needs to be considered is heard by the judge.

Good luck,

I have been paying child support persuant to a court order since 1999. My ex has engaged an attorney to request an increase. Is it necessary for me to also retain an attorney or can I represent myself and provide my income information to the court for their review. How should I proceed?
