Can the child support amount ordered be amended later?
Yes, generally the child support obligation should be recalculated every 3 years or so, and any time a child no longer qualifies (turns 18). However, there are other circumstances that may permit review such as the involuntary loss of a job or substantial increase in income. The remarriage of either party is not sufficient to amend child support and the incomes of new spouses may not be used in making the child support calculation.
