Change Child Support When Parents Agree
This form is helpful if you would like to change an existing child support order and the change is NOT because a child should be emancipated. This form should only be used when both parents agree on the new child support arrangements.
What are the qualifications?
- There is a current child support order between you and your child(ren)’s other parent.
- Things have changed so much that the current child support order should be changed.
- You and the other parent agree on what the child support payment should be.
