Do You Need Help With Child Support Modification?

Do you have a current order for child support? Does this order need a modification for some reason because your child’s circumstances or your income levels have changed? Our child support attorneys at Turner Law Offices, P.C. is here to help!  Tennessee courts always focus on the best needs of a child, but there can sometimes be significant changes that can either increase or decrease a child support obligation. With our free, no obligation consultation, you can get a local Clarksville perspective on what to expect with your desire for a child support modification.

What Qualifies As a Significant Change?

The most common reason why a child support modification is wanted or considered is because of a change in the parent’s income. Many changes, however, don’t actually meet the state’s mandate of a significant change taking place. A minimum of a 15% increase or reduction in income is often necessary for a child support modification to be considered.

There are other circumstances that can qualify as a significant change as well:

• a voluntary agreement with any proposed changes,
• a change in the number of children requiring support,
• the classification of a supported child as disabled, or
• the qualification of a parent as a low-income contributor.

If you are considered by the court to be a low-income contributor, then your change of income status only needs to be 7.5% instead of the standard 15%. Your Clarksville attorney can help walk you through the process, look at all of your income and assets, and help your petition or negotiate your existing child support order to get the modification that you desire.
