Child Support Modifications

When a parent is unable to make child support payments due to financial reasons, a child support modification may be a viable option. However, ensuring that the child's financial needs are met is the primary goal of family law court.

Valid reasons to modify an existing child support plan include:

• A change in income for either parent
• A parent experiences significant family changes, such as having another child
• A significant change in circumstances due to job loss
• One of the parents becomes incarcerated
• One or more factors that were used to determine child support have changed (such as a parent’s living expenses)
• The child's needs have changed, resulting in higher or lower costs for healthcare, education, etc.
• The non-custodial parent becomes disabled
• The non-custodial parent begins receiving some type of benefits, such as veterans’ benefits or supplemental security income
• The non-custodial parent gets deployed due to their military service
• There have been changes in how much time the child spends with each parent
• Or another reason may warrant a court-approved change in child support

Failure to pay child support may result in legal action against the payer, and possible wage garnishment or child support liens. If you are unable to pay child support, talk to a Denver child support modification lawyer about your legal options.
