If the noncustodial parents income has changed since the last child support order was issued, can the order be changed?
Yes. The child support agency or the courts can modify the order if the noncustodial parents income has increased or decreased enough to cause a change that is greater than 15% in child support. Other reasons why the case could qualify for a modification include change in custody, need for medical support or adding post majority support. Please remember that the agency can modify only those support orders that were set by the agency. If the court set the order, such as in a divorce proceeding, only a court can modify the order. You or your attorney can motion the court to modify your child support order or the agency can submit the determinations to the court system.
