My son's dad is submitting for a review of our CS arrangement...the
state (circuit court) will evaluate changed financial situations and
adjust the amount he pays me. I know he's had hard times (he whined
recently that every penny he sent "me" in the last two years was
borrowed money) and I realize an adjustment is fair....but can I just
let it happen without using an attorney (when it was set in Summer 2003
we both had attorneys)? Will I get somehow shafted? I'd really rather
just submit my tax returns and let the chips fall, but I don't want to
do something stupid...

If you live in a state which relies on a guideline formula to determine
CS, it should in theory make no difference whether attorneys are
involved or not. Both of you should disclose the necessary financial
documents and affidavits to each other, then work the formula and
be able to reach the same result. However, it would be advisable
to have an attorney at least look over his numbers to see if anything
looks hinky. =R=

sounds like "fair" would be you giving him back some payments for over
paying.

overpaying? No, he didn't overpay; the state determined the
amount....he didn't have to borrow all that money (he owns an airplane,
for crying out loud)....my income declined as much as his did.

Spend as much money as possible on a competent and experienced family
lawyer. It will be worth it in the end.
