Who can request a child support modification?
Both the parent paying child support and the parent receiving child support can request a modification to the child support amount. You can make a request at any time, but it is important to note that only under certain circumstances will a modification request be granted.
What are some reasons for a child support modification request?
So, what are the reasons why a child support modification request might be granted? There are a few reasons when the courts may grant a modification request. These include if a parent gets a new job, if a parent loses their job, if a parent gets a promotion, if a parent gets remarried to a high-earning spouse, if the custody agreement has changed to share physical custody, or if a child becomes emancipated. If any of these circumstances pertain to your situation, your modification request may be granted by the courts.
Do I need an attorney for my child support modification request?
Child support has a large impact on finances. As such, it is important to put the best case forward when requesting a modification to child support.
