Edit: this is no longer true as of 3/23/20. You should prepare your filings in any event so you are not waiting in line for months when the courts reopen. Original post: Contrary to the rumors, court clerks are still accepting filed petitions and motions. Please remember if you are unemployed or underemployed as a result of COVID-19, you must file a petition/motion to adjust your child support right now. You should not wait until the Court reopens.
