Modifications of Child Support

Modifications of child support are changes to an existing court order that determine how much money a parent must pay for child expenses. These adjustments can be requested if there’s a significant change in circumstances, such as a parent’s income change, job loss, or a change in the child's needs. The goal is to ensure support payments accurately reflect current circumstances, promoting the child's well-being. The process involves filing a request with the court, which reviews the new information before making a decision to modify the original support order.
