Dude, I feel for you, i also am a 1st year FO @ Freedom with a child that i am paying child support on. Luckily I haven't had this problem yet. Let me give you some good advice GET A LAWYER. There is no other way to get your point across in the courts than having a lawyer. That goes for anything dealing with child support, if you don't her lawyer is going to burn you a new one. I have seen it to many times before with friends that say they don't need a lawyer in child support cases. Just do the math, an ok lawyer will be $1000 (get a loan set up a payment plan something). If that lawyer can get the amount reduced and explain how our pay works,that could save you over $1000 in only a years time. As for the court taking all 100 hours they can't they can only take your guarantee. I know that b/c at my old job i used to work alot of overtime and she could only touch the 40hours not the overtime, b/c that isn't always promised. Another good thing your per deum can't be touched either. Being a child support paying parent is no tough. I can definitively tell some of the responses you have received are from guys on the other side of the track. Until you deal with ex-s and courts with child support you have no idea what it is like. Taking care of your kids is one thing, but taking care of a ex-wife's life-style and everything else is not fair when you can barely afford a roof over your head and descent meal in your mouth. We live in a country that is ruled by courts and lawyers it is a good old boys world. We are not part of that good olds boys club. So just pay someone who is to get you out of this. Keep me posted and good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
