Immediately rec'd suponea... My attorney screwed me!!! was never told i need court order modification to reduce support...My att.NEVER OFFERED ANY DEFENSE NOR explaination to court being past due $ for oldest child after turned 18 married had baby... Attorney error. Attorney aware of suit as leverage to have me sign away my rights to minor child...No details, explaination, statement of never missed a payment for minor or any kind of defense/justication given to court. modified current obligation $100 more plus $200. month for arrearages of 10K...Help!!!
