Q: If 2 parents agree on minor child supports changes. Is it possible to file that themselves or do they need a lawyer to?
A: The answers are yes and yes. An attorney will ensure the agreement is complete and do all the filing, etc. Just make sure your attorney understands you want her to merely reduce your verbal agreement into writing and not stir up any issues.
Regina Irene Edwards agrees with this answer
A: You could do it on your own, but I'd suggest getting an attorney to draw it up as an uncontested modification. With the worksheets, there are several intricacies that even an inexperienced attorney may miss from time to time. You want to make sure this is done right the first time, as this isn't the easiest thing to fix in the event of a mistake.
