There is no way he will get that lowered. In fact his lawyer has a ethical issue. His lawyer should be telling him he is luck as hell. I agree that it too much money for someone to pay in one month. I can't imagine paying htat much, but I pay a lot more than half that for 1 kid. There is no chance it will get lowered. Here is the [censored] of it. You will most likely get the same judge and when he gets done with this stupid shit he will pay his lawyer your lawyer and they will actually raise the support and most likely shove him in arrears and he will pay interest and fees. Not only that is he will quit paying and totally wreck his life before he figures out he should have just started paying and punch holes in the walls.

I think the system sucks I think child support is more of a punishment than financial help. I think the courts are bias and I will be willing to bet there will some huge tragedy someday that will actually change it, but not paying will not fix the system

He will just be classified as another dead beat dad. I am not sure how long this will go on before everybody starts to understand that this is not right for anybody especially the kids.

Trust me none of this is any good for the kids and is definitely not in the best interest of them.

Anyways in my long winded response you have nothing to worry about and you should talk him into not going through with this and his lawyer should be disbarred. That is my opinion
