Life is not static. Child support levels that may have been appropriate years ago may not be appropriate now. A modification can bring those levels up to date. All parties can benefit from ensuring that child support levels are set appropriately given the specifics of the individual situation.
Common situations where a modification of child support levels may be called for include:
- Change of income — Either parent may have received a raise or lost a job. Significant changes in income are valid reasons for granting a modification of child support. For a parent who lost a job, a decrease in support paid can be applied only from the time of filing for the modification. This makes it important to act sooner rather than later.
- Change in custody — Any increase or decrease in the amount of time a parent spends with a child can affect child support levels. Up to a point, spending more time with your child can decrease child support you may be paying.
You deserve child support levels that are fair and calculated appropriately based on factors such as income and parenting time. We can help you present a strong case to the court that a modification is in order as well as help you fight a request for a modification.
