A: There has to be an exceptional change in circumstances for the court to make changes to child support. Is there an exceptional change in circumstance? It sounds to me like she is forum shopping. If DOR says the amount you are paying is fair and reasonable, I don't think a court will overrule the department. Yes, she can file for a review of the child support order. Unfortunately, some people abuse the process.
