When one parent has custody of a child, the non-custodial parent is often required to pay child support to the custodial parent. However, the amount agreed on at the time of separation may not be the amount that should be paid due to changing circumstances. What happens in such a scenario? Your best bet would be to seek the legal assistance of an experienced child support attorney.

About Modifications & Enforcements of Child Support Cases
The amount of child support payable should have been originally decided during the custody and visitation hearing at the time of the divorce. However, a change in circumstances can affect the non-custodial parent’s ability to pay that amount timely or increase the level of support the custodial parent should receive. Such circumstances include:
- Loss of a job or reduction in working hours
- Substantial increase in one parent’s income
- One parent needing to relocate for work purposes
- The health condition of the child
- Changing needs of the child
If you are looking for a modification to your child support payments, it is important to contact an attorney for advice as soon as you become aware of the change. This is because most requests are time sensitive. If you put it off, the circumstance may no longer be applicable by the time you get around to doing so.
