What is the procedure for child support modification or termination?
A parent wishing to modify or terminate support must file a petition in court alleging that a material change in circumstances has occurred which, by law, entitled him or her to the relief sought. Both parents will be required to produce affidavits and documentation as to their incomes and expenses. If the parties cannot agree on a modification, an evidentiary hearing, tantamount to a full trial, will be held with testimony and other evidence.
