Any motion to modify can affect your child support but unless there has been a substantial change in circumstances, a court generally will not alter the previously ordered amount to be paid each period. The general law is that the trial court had the opportunity to review the testimony of all witnesses, the financial affidavits, and made the determination after careful consideration. The order will generally not be disturbed without compelling reasons or substantial changes in circumstances.
