I need to modify child support.

Q) My daughter will be attending college this fall. I need to modify child support. Her name is Leah K***o. Her dads name is R**n K***o. And my name is Laci M***e.

A) Sure, I can help you with that. Here are the steps on how to modify child support:

1. Gather your documents. You will need to gather the following documents:
   • Your child support order
   • Proof of your current income and expenses
   • Proof of the other parent’s current income and expenses
   • Any other documentation that supports your request for a modification
2. File a motion with the court. You will need to file a motion with the court requesting a modification of your child support order. The motion should include the following information:
   • Your name and contact information
   • The name and contact information of the other parent
   • The case number of your original child support order
   • A brief explanation of why you are requesting a modification
   • The specific changes you are requesting
   • Any supporting documentation
3. Serve the other parent. Once you have filed your motion, you will need to serve the other parent with a copy of the motion and all of the supporting documentation. You can serve the other parent by mail, in person, or by certified mail.
4. Attend the hearing. The court will schedule a hearing to consider your request for a modification. At the hearing, you will have the opportunity to present your case to the judge. The other parent will also have the opportunity to present their case.
5. The judge will make a decision. After the hearing, the judge will make a decision about whether or not to modify your child support order. The judge will consider all of the evidence presented at the hearing before making their decision.

If the judge decides to modify your child support order, the new order will be sent to you and the other parent. It is important to follow the terms of the new order. If you do not follow the terms of the order, you may be held in contempt of court.

Here are some additional tips for modifying child support:

• Be sure to consult with an attorney. An attorney can help you understand the law and prepare your case for the hearing.
• Be prepared to negotiate. The judge may not grant your request for a full modification. Be prepared to negotiate with the other parent to reach an agreement that is acceptable to both of you.
• Be patient. It can take time for the court to process your request and schedule a hearing. Be patient and do not give up.
