Can a final order for support be varied?
Normally the parties cannot change contracts and court orders. Dealing with children, a separation agreement or custody and access order of a court is never final and is always subject to review. Where there has been a material change in circumstances that was not foreseeable at the time of the original agreement or order, the court may make changes. There is a heavy onus on the party requesting the change to show how the circumstances have changed to make the original order or agreement unworkable. Any change in custody and access arrangements will be made in the best interests of the child.
