Q: Can you change your child support amount if you have children more often that stated in divorce decree?
My husbands divorce decree states he has his two boys 4 nights a month and that's what his child support is based on. For the past 5 yrs we have had them 13-15 nights per month. Can we get the child support changed to reflect having them about half the time?
A: It's good to get an attorney on board for a situation like this. If there is a change in circumstance the child support can be changed, but you would need to consult with an attorney to talk about the specific facts of your case and your options. There are a lot of moving parts changing something like this.
