Child Support
Modification
Child support payments can be modified
at any time, with evidence of change in
circumstances. The party requesting the
change must file an order with the
courts requesting the change in child
support payment. Issues previously
addressed through the courts do not
normally gain attention again unless
there are dramatic changes and
supporting evidence different from the
previous hearing. It is important to
intervene prior to payments getting to
far in arrears. Courts rarely forgive
money owed for support.
Some factors for consideration of
modification are:
·
Change in income or benefits
·
Income of new spouse or live-in partner
·
Cost of living increase
·
Health conditions of child
·
Change in physical, mental or emotional
health of child
·
Remarriage of a parent
·
Receipt of inheritance, pension or other
gift
·
Change in residence
