What to do if a judge awarded my child’s mother over 80% of my monthly income but the legal limit in my state is 50%?

The judge said I just need to work more. That’s not possible. I’m a full-time college student with a part-time job.

I suggest that you immediately consult with a family law attorney about the adverse order issued against you to see what your legal recourse is such as an appeal since the amount awarded exceeds the legal limit allowable in the state you reside in.
