Re: Full time student - chid support
If there's already a current child support order in place, then the party seeking an adjustment in support needs to file a petition to modify with the court. Generally, going back to school does not qualify as a change in circumstances justifying a modification of the support order. There may be circumstances where the court might consider it based upon what all of the factors are in your particular case.
