Q: Can my ex amend my child support? We are divorced for 5 mos?
My daughter is 13 y/o and is angry with me re: divorce and spending the majority of time with him. We are in Fulton County
A: Yes, generally, a custody/support order may be modified at any time after an initial divorce order (or every two years after the first modification order). There will need to be a showing of changed circumstances (such as loss/reduce of income of either party and/or change in standard custody/visitation). To protect your rights, you need to speak with a family law attorney ASAP so that you can have a strategy to protect your rights and the best interests of your child.
