Modification of Child Support Order
Modification of Child Support Order
A Modification of Child Support Order is a legal document that modifies the terms of a previously issued child support order. The modification may be necessary due to a change in circumstances, such as a change in income or a change in the child’s needs. The party seeking the modification must typically demonstrate a substantial change in circumstances to justify the modification. The court will consider the state guidelines and the financial needs of the child in determining whether to grant the modification. A Modification of Child Support Order helps ensure that the child support arrangement remains fair and appropriate over time.
