If the court believes he has deliberately reduced his income or is not working in bad faith, they will not reduce child support. If he is not working through no fault of his own, the court may reduce child support. It appears his loss of income is due to the sale of his business and so the court may not be sympathetic to that.

My ex-husband was ordered to pay $721 in CS…however I agreeded for him to pay $500. He was self employed and was making about $50k a year. He sold his part of the biz to his partner in 10/06 about 3 months after the cs was ordered and has not worked since. I think he is possibly dealing drugs…he has been able to pay the $500 ever since it was ordered. He really does not work…not under the table nothing…He has filed a motion to modify CS because he sold out of his biz and is unable to obtain work due to the fact he is a felon and registered sex offender.
Will he not have to pay me anything??? or do you think the judge would base it on what he has the capbility of making,even if it is min. wage? He worked w/ other loging co. and other places that did not do a background check…
