Modification of Child Support

Modification of Child Support

Multi-State Child Support Modification Lawyers

Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Indiana child support is designed to meet the child’s needs. Those needs include but are not limited to food, shelter, clothing, health care, and education. If the child’s needs change or a parent’s financial situation changes, the amount of child support may need to be modified. In such cases, the existing child support order may be amended either by a mutual agreement between the two parties or by a court order.

When to Seek Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Indiana Child Support Modification

Child support modification can occur after a temporary court order, marital settlement agreement, or divorce judgment is executed. If you need to modify your child support order, you may increase or decrease the amount of child support. While there are many reasons a couple may wish to modify their child support order, some of the most common reasons for child support modifications are:

  • Changes in income — post-judgment modifications of Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Indiana child support often occur when one parent’s income significantly increases enough to warrant an adjustment.
  • Increases in need — if the child’s needs have changed (such as when a child enters daycare), a parent may seek to modify the existing child support agreement.
