Child support isn't as complicated or as difficult as some people may assume. The courts, no matter where you live, typically have a way of calculating child support payments. They take into consideration the children's current standard of living, their daily needs, the income of both parents, and the type of custody arrangement that was settled on. In most cases, parents that agree on joint custody will have no or little child support payments, depending on their personal situation. Child support modifications cannot be made on a whim—in fact, there typically has to be a "substantial change in circumstances." This could be anything from a job change/income change, change in home address, or a parent's inability to care for the child. Of course, other situations can bring a child support modification to court, but these are some of the more common instances. In order to start the process, you must file a petition (or complaint or motion, depending on your state), which will include a filing fee to have the papers submitted through the courts and set a trial date for the modification. When having your child support modified, it is important to have all your information together, and know what you can do to decrease the amount of financial support you offer to your ex-wife for the care of your children. But remember, lowering your child support does not mean that you aren't supporting your child—this is done by spending time with your children, being there for them, and being a presence in their lives. Isn't that what being a father is all about?
