More details to this question:
I was supposed to make $1416 a month on unemployment but instead I'm only bringing in $616 a month from unemployment and that with $140 taken out for taxes and the rest taken out for child support. I am paying two families one family with 2 children the other with 1 child and the 1 child is from a marriage in which we got a dissolution with a set child support of $25 a week. Also, I am not in the arrears.

In Ohio, if you are unemployed, you have the right to ask for child support to be lessened or even suspended for a time. But you must request it. If you stop paying without the modification, you risk a suspended drivers license or even jail from causing an arrearage. You file the motion for modification wherever your child support orders came from. Please discuss this with a family law attorney. The above does not create a lawyer / client relationship, nor is it to be taken as legal advice. It is intended for entertainment purposes only.
