support modification

Support modification refers to changing the terms of a child support agreement to better fit the current circumstances of the parents or child. This may happen if financial situations change, such as a parent losing a job or getting a better one, or if the child's needs evolve. The goal is to ensure that support arrangements remain fair and appropriate over time. Typically, a formal legal process is used to request and approve modifications, ensuring that both parties' rights and responsibilities are considered and adjusted as needed.
