I have a friend who is divorced. His financial situation has changed much over the past couple years and he needs to alter the financial child-support agreement that was made at the time. Is it possible for him to do this? What does it involve?

Yes. Either divorcee can change their divorce decree; if they chose to. Unfortunately; they to have hire a lawyer;again; and take the ex back to court;again. Which is why I havent taken my ex back to court to ENFORCE his court-ordered childsupport and RAISE it since he has made LOTS more ever since day of our divorce 7+years ago.

It would involve contacting the Child Support agency with documentation proving a large change in circumstances. That would be the first thing. They may be able to alter the Support arrangements, or you may have to go to court again, not sure of the situation where you are. But that is the place to start.

You can ask the court to adjust it.
Call a lawyer or financial aid.
They will file the paper work.
Have your day in court.
Submit your argument.
Judge will render a decision.
And if your not below the poverty level get ready to pay some $$$$$$$$$$$

He will need to talk to a lawyer but just like if he started to make more money he would have to pay more, If he makes less he may be able to pay less. I say this only because a friend of mine went through something similar, his ex-wife took him to court trying to get more money and because he was making less she ended up actually getting less. Good luck.

He needs to get a lawyer & take it to court, petitioning for a child support review.

I think it depend s on where you live, I have heard that if that if the child support is too high and causes hardship it may be contested so that the amt. is lowered.

Ask his Lawyer
he can do it but he and his lawyer would have to work it out with his ex and the court
