Decreasing Child Support
Divorce proceedings can be very complicated, especially when they involve children. If a couple files for divorce and has one or multiple children, they must decide who gets custody, and also the details of child support payments. These payments exist to provide financial support to the custodial parent so he or she can pay for the child’s expenses. Many people believe that once the child support payment amount is determined, that it can never be altered, but this is not true. Depending on either parent’s financial situation, payments can increase or decrease.
Taking action early is the best way to get the modifications you need to change your child support. Contact the Conroe & Spring divorce lawyers of Garg & Associates, P.C. today at 800-242-2151 to schedule a free consultation and discuss your options with a legal professional.

- The custody agreements have changed
- The supporting parent loses his or her job
- The supporting parent receives a pay cut
- The health of either parent becomes changes
The time to take action is now. Don’t suffer any longer because you cannot afford your child support payments.
