Common Reasons For Child Support Modification

Child support modifications are not uncommon after a divorce. This is because even though a divorce may have been finalized, the lives of each parent and child are ever changing. Therefore, our team is here if you need legal help regarding a child support modification. However, in order to move forward with a modification in child support, there are stringent laws that must be followed and the parent seeking modification must show proof to the court that there has been an admissible or significant change since the initial child support order was established.

There are a variety of significant and legitimate reasons in which may warrant a child support modification, including but not limited to:

• A change in income for either one or both parents
• Change in employment status or loss of employment
• A change in custody status
• The child’s needs have changed
• Having a child from another relationship
• Incarceration 

If both parents reach a mutual agreement, they may be able to form a stipulation and provide it to the judge for his or her signature. However, in many cases, both parties may not come to a mutual agreement, which means that one of the parties must file a motion and ask the court to approve a child support modification. If this is the case, it is imperative that you consult with a trusted and experienced child support modification attorney in Los Angeles to ensure that your child’s best interests are protected.
