I moved to SC 2 1/2 years ago from MA. When was laid off in June of 2006 we decided to move to SC. Recently I had to attend court in MA because I still pay CS for 1 child (age 19). I submitted a modification for CS (because I was laid off, and medical problems), but I rcvd the ruling (dated March 30th), stating the judge fely I voluntarily reired (I wasn't laid off), therefore she took into account my old salary and my ex is suppose to get $300. a week (my present salary is $310. a week). I guess what bothers me is, I can prove "I didn't voluntarily retire". Plus the judge in MA didn't even take into account any medical records. (I've had medical probs since April 2007. (they will be ongoing for approx another 4 months). Can a lawyer in SC handle a MA case for me?? I don't want to submit an appeal because I read 74% of all appeals are lost, they take 1-2 years, and they cost thousands of dollars, money which I don't have. Can anyone provide me with any other option to correct this matter. If the judge contacted my former place of employmeny, she would've found out I was laid off and they did away with my job. She failed to do this. Please help..
