Changing Unfair Child Support Payments

Full Video Transcript

Feeling that your child support payments are unfair? A job loss, illness, or a change in your child’s needs can lead to you feeling the pinch. Child support payments can be modified, but you need a judge’s approval to make it official. Start by consulting with a family law attorney who handles child support cases to understand your options. Filing a petition in court is the next step. This will allow a judge to review your changing circumstances. Failing to follow the proper procedures can lead to serious legal consequences, including wage garnishment or being held in contempt of court.
