What if my finances change and I can’t make my payments?
You can ask the court to reduce your child support payments
by filing a petition (application) for modification, but there must be a
material change in your ability to pay (because you lost your job, for
example). You must file your petition with the same court that ordered your
payments in the first place. Only the court can change what you owe, even if
you have been paying the other parent less or missed payments already, and even
if the other parent agrees.
