Can I Modify an Existing Child Support Order in Arizona?
An existing child support order can be modified if you are able to show a significant and continuing change of circumstances. And what I mean by that, is that you have a change in parenting time, in income, expenses, perhaps the insurance covering the child has changed, something that is related to child support that has changed. There’s basically two ways to go about doing it. One is what I’ll call a regular petition to modify child support. The other is a simplfied way of doing it. If you are able to show that the changed circumstances have the effect of a 15% change in child support, you can file your petition and if the other side does not respond to it, the change is automatic. The court signs an automatic order. If you have any other questions about changing a current order of child support, please contact me at Hildebrand Law. The phone number is, (480) 305-8300. Thank you.
