Keep in mind, most of the time temp. support orders are there just to maintain the status quo while the settlement and other matters get worked out. And most of the time, they use a computer program to do this, which doesn't take into acct. much of what the court MUST take into acct. when issuing permanent support orders. You can get it reduced but you must make every effort and have a good attorney who will look at all the angles. And hopefully a judge who obeys the laws and is impartial in all matters. IMO, many aren't.
