Increasing Child Support
Along with legally ending a marriage and dividing property and assets, a couple with children must also make reach agreements regarding the allocation of custody and the assignment of child support payments. These payments are intended to allow the custodial parent to ensure that the child’s needs are met. Though many people believe that once child support payments are set, they cannot be modified, this is untrue.
If circumstances have changed and the child support payments that you are currently receiving are no longer adequate, a skilled and experience attorney can help you to seek a modification to the terms of the order.

Justifications for the Pursuit of Increased Child Support
Child support payments are supposed to support the best interests of the child and are to prevent the custodial parent from bearing all of the financial responsibility of caring for and raising the child. Accordingly, certain events may warrant seeking an increase in the child support payment amounts. The following are representative of possible reasons for this:
- The child suffers an injury or develops an illness which leads to increased medical expenses
- The non-custodial parent is making more money now than before from a raise or new job
- The custodial parent has been fired, laid off, or otherwise experienced a dramatic reduction in income
