Child Support awards or orders may be modified at any time before termination of the obligor’s duty of support. A modification of child support may be retroactive to the date of the filed motion or order to show cause.
Determination of Child Support Awards in modification proceedings is governed by statewide guidelines. The general rule is that to obtain a modification of child support, there must be a showing of a material change of circumstances since the last court order. Some instances include a party’s loss of employment or a party’s recent attainment of employment or financial windfall.
Many times, child support orders are modified significantly on the basis of the obligor’s increased ability to pay child support.
