When a Modification Is Needed
There are a variety of life changes that can necessitate the need for modification. It does not have to be a negative change, such as losing a job. Positive changes, such as an increase in income, can also lead to modifications.
A modification may be granted by a judge for circumstances such as:
- Job loss
- Substantial change in income
- Relocation
- Illness
- Disability
Modifications must be filed with the court and approved by a judge. Deciding to relocate without a court's consent or refusing the pay child support can lead to additional trouble with the court. You can speak with Attorney Gill if you have questions about your situation.
