Child Support Modification
Child support orders must reflect current financial realities, not outdated circumstances.
Child support orders are based on financial and custody circumstances at the time they are entered. When income, employment, or a child’s needs change, a modification may be appropriate.

Circumstances that may justify a child support modification include:
