Child Support Modifications During a Divorce Child support isn't as complicated or as difficult as some people may assume. The courts, no matter where you live, typically have a way of calculating child support payments. They take into consideration the children's current standard of living, their daily needs, the income of both parents, and the type of custody arrangement that was settled on. In most cases, parents that agree on joint custody will have no or little child support payments, depending on their personal situation. Child support modifications cannot be made on a whim—in fact, there typically has to be a "substantial change in circumstances." This could be anything from a job change/income change, change in home address, or a parent's inability to care for the child. Of course, other situations can bring a child support modification to court, but these are some of the more common instances. In order to start the process, you must file a petition (or complaint or motion, depending on your state), which will include a filing fee to have the papers submitted through the courts and set a trial date for the modification. When having your child support...more

What is Child Support? There are two different kinds of child support. The more popular one is the financial obligation a parent has to the support of their children. This is typically considered child support payments, and are intended to go towards the care and raising of the children. Unfortunately, since the use of this money is not tracked, it is hard to ensure that the money you pay your ex-wife each month is indeed going towards your children. The second, less understood form of child support is being there—physically, mentally, and emotionally—for your children. Unfortunately, in many divorce cases, ex-wives tend to use the children as pawns in the relationship, and will deny visitation or the ability to see the kids out of anger or spite. They may also participate in parental alienation, saying hurtful, untrue things about their father in an attempt to turn them against him. This can be devastating to children, and more so the fathers that fall victim to it. Financial child support can be modified through the court systems, even after a final order is placed during the divorce trial. Knowing what to bring to court will help you drastically in...more
