rejected.content: Sorry to hear that you are in this difficult situation. There are ways that you could explore to possibly reduce or get relief from alimony and child support payments. Consulting an attorney experienced in family law could be a good first step. Some options to consider are filing a motion to modify the support amounts, if warranted by a change in the financial condition of either party, or asking the court to terminate or suspend the payments if there is a change in your income or a temporary illness or disability. You may also want to check and see if you qualify for any tax credits or deductions.
