What form do i need to complete to request a modification in child support? Where do i find this form?
A) The specific form you need to complete to request a modification in child support will vary depending on your state. However, most states have a standard form that you can use. You can usually find this form online or at your local courthouse.
Here are some of the most common forms used to request a modification in child support:
Petition for Modification of Child Support Order
Motion to Modify Child Support
Request for Review of Child Support Order
In addition to the form, you will also need to provide documentation to support your request for modification. This documentation may include:
Proof of income for both parents
Proof of expenses for both parents
Medical records for the child
School records for the child
Any other relevant documents
Once you have completed the form and gathered your documentation, you can file your request with the court. The court will then set a hearing to review your request. If the court finds that there has been a substantial change in circumstances, it may order a modification of your child support order.
