Request for Modification of Child Support Based on Change in Needs

A Request for Modification of Child Support Based on Change in Needs is a legal document filed by either parent in a child support case, asking the court to modify an existing support order based on a substantial change in the needs of the child. The request typically includes information about the specific change in needs, such as increased medical expenses, educational costs, or extracurricular activities, and may include supporting documentation, such as bills or receipts. The purpose of the request is to adjust the support obligation to reflect the child’s current needs and to ensure that the support order remains fair and appropriate.
