VerifiedHello.Welcome and thank you for using JustAnswer. My name is***** am an attorney with 54 years of experience to share with you.
I’m sorry you are having these troubles. I know you are going through uncertainty and aggravation, otherwise you would not be here, asking for help.
You can be assured that I’ll do my best to provide information and comfort.
Please tell me what has happened. Talk with me just as though we are sitting together and you are describing the problem. I can’t actually be your attorney, but I will provide legal information.
Just think of me as a friend with a law degree.
Other than the problem which brings you here, I hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and happy.
I'm sorry that you are involved in a legal problem but will do all I can to help you.
Please explain what has gone on.
I understand your husband has limited capacity to earn but, from what you're saying, owes spousal support to an ex wife.
That is an amazing Court Order which should be changed but can only be changed by going to Court and asking for a modification as I described above.
