Why Child Support Payments May Be Changed Sometimes

THE PAYING PARENTS MAKES MORE MONEY THAN WHEN YOU STARTED THE PAYMENT AGREEMENT
If the paying parent receives a substantial increase in income due to a raise, this may qualify as a means to have the child support payments they are making modified.

THE CHILD NEEDS AN EXPENSIVE MEDICAL PROCEDURE.
If the child that is being supported by these payments needs a medical procedure, for example, such as braces, that requires a substantial lump sum to complete, then a modification in child support payments may be made.

MORE CHILDREN COME INTO THE FAMILY.
If the paying parent gets married again and has other children, they are likely financially responsible for these children. This situation may be used as a way to modify the child support agreements to a more realistic way of affording everything.

THE PAYING PARENT LOSES THEIR JOB.
A loss of income meaning you have been fired from your job, you have experienced a demotion, or you have been put on temporary leave without pay may qualify as a life change that can be used to modify your child support payments that you may be making or those that you are receiving, depending on who you are in the equation, the paying parent or the receiving parent. If you have lost your income, the child support agreement can be revisited and modified to a more realistic payment amount.

THE PAYING PARENT INHERITS A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY.
If the paying parent receives a hefty inheritance the receiving parent may be able to use this as an opportunity to have child support payments increased for the sake of the child.
