I was reading about how you should not answer questions by the JDB related to your financial situation. But what if I am trying to request a lowered monthly payment and total amount because I am on social security, with the ex paying me a few hundred to get by, and I barely have enough to make rent? How much of this should I reveal? Can I just ask for the lowered monthly payment without providing a reason for it?
Also, if I do get asked a question, and I don't want to answer it, should I just say directly, "I don't want to answer that question"? It seems like I could sound unreasonable if some of those questions are legitimately trying to size up my situation to determine whether a lower amount should be granted.
