[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op this is stupid. Internet advice is not always true. Consult with a lawyer to REALLY find out if your payment can be reduced.[/quote]

I have a friend who did this, also in NY, the judge bench slapped him and his atty and he ended up paying more, since he’d has a slight raise since the order was issued.

What is a lawyer going to do other than take his money. OP is being light on details, for two kids that’s not a lot of menu, especially if mom pays for health insurance and child care.

[b]Also in my experience mediators are kind of anti woman anyway, so mom might actually end up getting more if lawyer and judge get involved[/b]. [/quote]

Can you say more about that? I have observed this anecdotally but it was only secondhand reports in 2 divorces friends went through. [/quote]

Mediators are not anti women..men simply dominate the room. If a man goes into mediation with a woman who stands her grounds as much as he does, then mediation will be fair. Women have this habit of attacking spaces where they don't get a fair share and I get it. For this reason women are better off hiring a lawyer.

At the same time men who hire female lawyers for contentious divorced do very well if the judge is male and their lawyer is female.

I always tell guys who have any kind of child support custody issue to 100% select a female lawyer. And preferably a younger blonde. I hate to say this but it matters. [/quote]
