What to do if I desperately need a reduction in child support?
I pay child support for 1 child. My wages are garnished each week and I’m on the federal Intercept program. They take all of my entire income tax. Now, I have 2 other children (mine) which I support and their mother is a stay at home mom. I also suspect that my first child may not be mine. What are my options? What can be done?

I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about your matter in order for a petition for a possible paternity test with the court and to file a motion to reduce your monthly child support. If you cannot afford private counsel, I suggest that you consult with your local legal aid clinic or county bar association if there is a program in place to help you.
