Canton MA Child Support Modification Lawyer
Boston Child Support Modification Attorneys
When you reached an agreement regarding child support, it was based on a certain set of factors such as your income, your ex's income, extracurricular activity costs for the children and medical insurance. Life changes and factors affecting a parent's ability to pay the same amount of child support or a parent's need to receive more financial support for the children may need to be considered.
At Schneiders & Schneiders, we handle divorce modification issues that arise after the final court orders. Whether you are seeking to reduce child support or make other modifications to an existing court order, our lawyers can help. Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation.
When Can You Change Child Support?
Child support modifications are not granted automatically. The parent requesting the change must make a formal motion to the court, and our attorneys provide diligent representation in this process. Child support modifications are granted if it can be shown there is a significant change in material circumstances.
Our law firm consistently strives to obtain results ― either through negotiations or in court ― that provide for the needs of the children and that are fair to our clients. We are knowledgeable about Massachusetts child support guidelines and the valid reasons for changing child support amounts.
A significant change in material conditions can include any of the following:
- Increase in income
- Decrease in income
- Remarriage
- Changing needs of the child or children, including educational needs and health care needs
- Changes in child custody and visitation
