can I modify child support without going to court? Modifying Child Support Without Going to Court It is possible to have your child support order modified without having to go to court--but only in very limited circumstances. Some judges include a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) clause in all of the child support orders they issue.
Furthermore, how long does it take to get child support modified?
It usually takes between 90-120 days, but it may be longer or resolved sooner depending on your family's needs. A judicial modification requires additional steps and may take at least 30 days longer to complete. If you have questions about the modification process, please contact your case manager.
Do I need lawyer for child support modification?
If you want help requesting a modification, consult with a qualified child support attorney. In general, family law doesn't allow for child support modification unless at least one parent can show a change in his or her circumstances that makes the child support modification necessary.
