my boyfriend was in jail for his divorce hearing. So because he wasnt there, she got everything she wanted. which was 100 dollars a week in child support and 50 dollars a week in spousal support. they were only married for 5 years, and just getting out of jail hes got no money no job and now alot of debt. I need to figure out a way to get this change.... any suggestions?Where can I get legal advice for cheap, if not free in ohio?
You can call around to local attorney's and ask if they do family/divorce law and see if they have free consultations (many do).
Schedule free consults with 2-3 attorney's (or more if you wish), present your circumstance, get their advice, and find out who is cheapest.
He should have filed something in the court, like a motion to continue stating that he was in jail and unable to attend the hearing, or he should have asked the jail to attend the court date.
It's $600/mo - to pay her that kind of $ (in court terms) he'd have to have income of $3,500-$5,000. Also, your state should have child support guidelines to follow based on income. Additionally, he'd need to file a modification of the divorce decree to get the agreement modified.
