What should I do if my support order is modified?

Answer by  noey1958 (1405)

You may file a modification of the modification. Make sure you have all the financial papers you need when filing the modification. Do this as soon as possible because each week that goes by is a week you might have to pay. You can ask the Judge it retroactive.

The terms of a support order are based on the formula the state uses. Figures are plugged in; a final calculation is determined. Modification are based on changes in income, employer, etc. If your order is modified, you should proceed in accordance with it in order to avoid problems/prosecution/incarceration. The court does not care if it "acceptable" to you.

The Court doesn't care if you like the support order. If it did, no one would pay support. Abide the terms of the order or face the consequences.

It depends on your position in the case, if you are a custodial parent and it is not acceptable then tough luck, a judge approved the modification.
