Support Modification

Walnut Creek-Concord Child Support Modifications Lawyer

When there is a change in circumstance that leaves one party unable to continue with current payments, or a need for an increase in child support, you can apply for a modification of child support. You can also seek additional child support if you have lost your job, have become disabled, or for other reasons are unable to care for your children without additional support. The new amount of child support is determined either by agreement of the parties, or by state statute.

If you have recently lost your job and are seeking to decrease your child support payment, we can assist you with a child support modification. At the Law Offices of Robert A. Goodman, we are experienced in assisting clients in modifying the amount of the existing child support order.

If you become aware that your former spouse has had a increase in pay or other income, we will assist you in getting your child support amount modified upward appropriately.

It is important to begin the process of modifying your support order right away to avoid unnecessary penalties.
