Can I be granted a reduction in child support payments do to an increase in expenses?
Judges believe that expenses are “discretionary,” that is, you can opt to undertake them or not. For example, you may not have to buy a new car, you just may want to. Unless these expenses are for necessities, and you are prepared to demonstrate such to the judges satisfaction, you cannot get a downward modification in child support just because of increased expenses.
