Child Support Modifications


May 29, 2012     By Eiges & Eiges PC

Are you having difficulty making your child support payments? Or are you not receiving enough in child support? There are options available to help you in your current situation. If you have been through a divorce then you may have gone through the difficult process of determining child custody and visitation rights. If you have not been granted custody then you were probably granted some rights to visitation.
Additionally you may have been assigned a child support payment that you make every month in order to financially help in the raising and caring for of your child. These payments are designed to compensate the custodial parent for clothes, food, housing and other costs that are incurred with raising a child. If you are unable to make these payments then there are options available to you.

If you are the custodial parent of your child after a divorce then you are probably entitled to receive child support payments from the child’s other biological parent. These costs are designed to help you in raising your child. While there are many costs associated with raising a child, the presiding judge will enforce a support payment that will hopefully find a happy medium between sufficient compensation and reasonable payment. However, sometimes these payments are insufficient and you are struggling to provide the necessary care for your child.

If you are struggling to provide financially for your child or if you are struggling to make the child support payments then you may greatly benefit from a modification to child support. This is a petition that is filed with the court and is designed to reduce or increase child support payments based on your current situation and your financial needs. This can be a very difficult process to go through alone and it is recommended that you seek the legal assistance of a New York divorce attorney from Eiges & Eiges.
