Will location and enforcement services cost more if out of state
Q) Will location and enforcement services cost more if my agency is dealing with another state or jurisdiction?
A) Possibly. It depends on what the child support office has to do to find the noncustodial parent and establish regular payment. The more solid information and leads you provide, the more efficiently your case can be conducted. For non-assistance cases, service fees vary in different states. Your caseworker should be able to tell you more about these costs in your particular case.
You will need to provide evidence of your reduction of income in order for the judge to modify your child support obligation. The best evidence is the most recent tax returns and recent pay stubs. After the court orders a specific child support amount, it is often the case that one parent may seek to modify the child support agreement. However, a parent seeking child support modification will need to prove a change of circumstances.
Steps To ask for a court hearing to change your existing child support order:
Fill out your court forms.
Have your forms reviewed.
Make at least 2 copies of all your forms.
File your forms with the court clerk.
Get your court date.
Serve your papers on the other parent (and the LCSA if involved)
File your proof of service.
