[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can a lawyer help me reduce my child support obligation?

First I am in NY not DC. To keep it short, I need to pay $1700/month for 2 kids on a 108k salary. NY uses a calculator .The problem is that this calculator does not take into account your expenses.

So, I am now short $700 every month. It's crazy that the amount is taken on a net basis.

I'm looking for another job, but it's tough with this economy.

What's even crazier my ex earns more than me, but she has primary physical custody because due to my work hours it's impossible for me to have them more than 3 days a week. So I have them 3 days a week.

I am willing to go into further debt if a lawyer can help me lower my obligations? For example if I show my expenses to the judge will they agree to lower the amount so I don't a shortage every month?

Sorry for asking on a DC forum, but reddit isn't that helpful because a lot of dads in my situation end up venting about their own cases instead of offering solutions. [/quote]

A judge will tell you to reduce your expenses.

You could try the scumbag technique. My XH was successful with reductions up to a point because he purposefully underemployed himself and got money secretly from his family to sustain his lifestyle. A friend’s ex worked under the table for 17 years to avoid CS and put cars and other assets in his GF’s name. [/quote]
