CHILD SUPPORT MODIFICATION
New Jersey (NJ) Child Support Modification Lawyers
Modification of child support can take place any time after a temporary court order, marital settlement agreement, or the divorce judgment is executed.
Modification of a child support order is the process used to change the amount of child support payments. Post-judgment modification of child support can often occur when one parent's income significantly increases or decreases enough to warrant an adjustment to the child support amount being paid or received. A parent may also seek a child support modification if the child's needs have increased. For example, if the child enters daycare and those costs and expenses were not previously included in the child support guideline calculation, a parent can ask for child support to be increased.
