A) With changes to your pay you can request a modification of your child support obligation:
Gather evidence of changes in circumstances.
File a Petition to Modify Child Support.
Argue that you are paying “extras.”
Identify a change in financial circumstances.
Submit a joint request to the court.
Your child support payments can be changed only by a court’s modification order. The modification process can increase or decrease payments. The ways you can lower child support payments will vary by circumstance. You will need to convince a court that the financial situation of one or both of the parents has changed substantially generally. To lower your payments, you will need to file a motion in court to modify your child support payments. Most courts have pre-printed “fill in the blank” motion forms You will need to file this motion in the court that issued the initial child support order.
