11. WHAT IF I NEED MORE CHILD SUPPORT IN THE FUTURE?
If the child support is set out in a court order, you
may petition the court to increase child support if you can show that there has
been a substantial change of circumstances since the date the order was
signed.Such a change may consist of increased living expenses, inflation or an
increase in the earnings of the other parent.Sometimes the parents can agree
between themselves on a regular increase in child support.If they wish, they
can enter into an agreement that adjusts child support annually on the basis
of, say, the Consumer Price Index or the wage increases of the noncustodial
parent.When the parents cannot agree, the court must resolve the matter and the
custodial parent must prove that present child support is inadequate.
