More details to this question:
I am taking my x back for failure to follow the support order that he was just found willfully guilty of being n violation of in May '13. He adjourned for a PRIVATE attorney even though he is unemployed. I know he will cry boo-hoo with "I had to tend to my 2 year old with another woman because the mother was in the hospital, I had a DWI, and My father is dying"....I have no money for an attorney as I am on unemployment (teacher) and am only working Per Diem. Can he get out of paying what was owed? Do I need to hire an attorney for this?

He could make a petition for a downward modification to try and get the amount reduced. He'll need to show proof of the things he's crying about. If he doesn't have a lawyer, he might not make the petition, and generally courts won't lower the amount without a petition. If he shows up with a lawyer, you can always ask the judge to delay again so you can find a lawyer. Good luck.
