How to Modify Child Support?

June 15, 2016 //  by Art Fulmer, Jr.

Child support can be modified at any time. In order to qualify you must be able to show a substantial change in circumstances. A qualified family lawyer can help you gather evidence to support the loss of a job, termination of a child’s attendance at daycare, an increase in the cost of health insurance or child care, the disability of a parent, and/or a substantial increase or decrease (typically 15% or greater) in either parent’s net income. These permanent changes have to have lasted or anticipated to last for one or more years.

It is imperative that a petition to modify child support be made as soon as your family circumstances change. The changes to payment will only be effective as of the modification filing date. If child support was established based upon both parents having equal time sharing with the children, and one parent stops participating in that time sharing, then child support may be modified retroactively from the date when that parent stopped participating in his or her time sharing responsibilities.

Our team can help initiate and complete the process for modifying your child support payments. Let’s talk more about your case soon. Schedule a consultation today!
