Years ago, when I was going through my divorce and learning about Family Law, I remember coming through a statement saying that children are the top priority for parents.
What typically happens to child support when paying parent has to suddenly leave the country, deal with own's parent illness, death and estate issues. Someone is such position may be unable to work. Let's say they leave mid-year and have income cut in half.
- does the child support continue per normal income because the parents' top priority are their own children, paying parent is healthy and employable so everything else is just noise?
- is child support payment decreased?
- otherwise?
Again, let's focus on just the question. Let's not talk about someone having to prove this or anything like that. Everything checks out. What happens in such case?
