Coronavirus: Lost Your Job? What About Your Child Support Payments?

The coronavirus has caused turmoil in almost every aspect of our lives. If you currently pay child support, but lost your job due to the virus, you may wonder what you need to do. According to Attorney Diana S. Valez Harris, “Immediately file a Complaint for Modification with the Court to let the other party know of the change in circumstances.” Valez Harris advises to consult with an Attorney and file the complaint as quickly as possible, as the Court cannot grant retroactive relief prior to the date of service of the complaint on the other side, so it is advisable to file and have the complaint served as soon as possible.
