He then obtained employment as an electrician.Mr. Eldridge did not make child support payments for the months he was unemployed. In Januaryof 2012, Mrs. Eldridge filed a motion with the court thatentered the divorce decree, seeking an order forcingMr. Eldridge to pay the child support payments duefor the months he did not make payments; the amounttotaled $7,000. Mr. Eldridge countered with a petitionto modify his child support obligation. The petitionrequested that he be excused from having to pay theobligations that accrued during the 10 months he wasunemployed. The court ordered Mr. Eldridge to payone-half of the amount due, $3,500 and excused himfrom paying the remaining $3,500.
