Q: I'm trying to get a modification of a child support order, and would like to know if I have everything needed to proceed
I have done the child support addendum, and also the worksheet.
A: Filing a modification of child support is more detailed than just presenting a child support worksheet and addendum. It often requires the exchange of updated financial documents. You should consider at least consulting with an attorney to discuss your options.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: Ms. Coleman is correct. You first have to meet the legal criteria to get a modification, and then the court can consider the worksheets. You should consult with an attorney about your case to make sure you present your case correctly. If you lost because you have done something the wrong way, you can't re-file again for 2 years, so you need to get it right.
Homer P Jordan IV agrees with this answer
A: I agree with my colleagues, you are going to need more than just those two items. You should consult with an attorney who can help you plan the proper course of action. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
