Modifications of Child Support Orders

Modifications of child support orders refer to changes made to the financial support agreement between parents, which can occur due to shifting circumstances. Common reasons include significant changes in income, job loss, alterations in the needs of the child, or changes in custody arrangements. To modify a child support order, one parent typically requests a review by the court, providing evidence for the need for change. The court then evaluates the situation to determine whether a modification is justified, ensuring that the child's best interests are always prioritized.
