As the fall season arrives, it brings with it a time of change and transition. For many families, this transition may also bring changes in financial circumstances that warrant a modification of child support. If you are wondering whether you need to modify your child support amount this fall, here are some factors to consider:
Changes in Income
Fall can be a time of change in employment or income, such as seasonal work or changes in hours. If your income has changed significantly since the original child support order was issued, you may be eligible for a modification.
Changes in Expenses
The fall season can also bring changes in expenses, such as back-to-school costs or changes in childcare expenses. If your expenses have increased significantly, you may be eligible for a modification to help cover these additional costs.
Changes in Custody Arrangements
If there have been changes in custody arrangements, such as the child spending more time with one parent, this could also warrant a modification of child support to reflect the new arrangement.
Changes in Health Care Coverage
If there have been changes in health care coverage for either parent or the child, this could also impact the child support amount and may warrant a modification.
