Re: Child Support
Increasing or decreasing child support is not dependent upon time, in fact time has nothing to do with it.
In order to seek a change in child support there must be a material change in the wages underlying the original order for support.
Whether a change is material or not is subjective and usually a change of 25 percent is significant. Speak with an attorney about your specific matter.
