Important Insights About Child Support
It is important to note that a change in the income of the parent receiving support is generally not a reason to change the separation agreement or court order. This is because that parent’s income is usually not taken into account when deciding how much child support should be paid, this is unless there is a true shared parenting arrangement.
Having said that, where a payor’s income has been reduced by no fault of his/her own, there is usually grounds for a reduction in support payments. If you and your partner cannot agree, you may have to go to court to bring a Motion to Change. A motion to change is the name of the court process used to ask a judge to make changes to support in your separation agreement or previous court order.
You can talk to a lawyer who can tell you if facts exist that may convince a judge that your separation agreement or court order should be changed. Epstein Law offers a free 30-minute consultation to help ease your fears and get the justice you deserve. Contact us today for more information.
