Son just turned 18, started University and came into a Trust Fund in excess of 60K. I long since have remarried, have two young sons, recently filed bankruptcy, lost my house, car, savings....in fact I'm negative 100K but still do pay child support to a mother who's been married 3 times since me.
Here's a question: would I be sucessful in filiing a variance based on his receipt of his trust fund?
Funny circumstances with the trust fund as well, this money was willed to him from his Step Father, who married mother AFTER me and passed away AFTER they divorced whereby she fought his 'estate' and argued that he would have paid child suport for my son (in addition to my own payments) and the Judge awarded this money from his estate into trust until he turned 18, which just happened.
I've never had issues paying child suport, he's my son and I absolutely should support him despite his mother's constant remarriages, additional spousal support payments from her current and 4th divorce....but when I'm down and he's up....will the courts actually look in my favor? I don't own anything, literally, not a thing. I lost my house last year, my car etc etc, filed a form of bankruptcy whereby i am paying back a percentage of my debts....all the while the Ex. is laying on her back raking it in...(She's on number 5 now)...
I can't even afford a lawyer to do this. Help.
