CHILD SUPPORT MODIFICATIONS
Adjusting Child Support to Reflect Life Changes
Child support orders are based on financial circumstances at the time they are issued, but income changes, job loss, or increased expenses may require modifications. At Fogelman Law Firm, we help parents in Clermont, Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Brown Counties petition for fair adjustments to child support obligations.
When Can You Modify Child Support?
Ohio law allows for child support modifications if there is a substantial change in circumstances, such as:
A significant increase or decrease in a parent’s income
A parent loses their job or experiences a reduction in work hours
The child’s medical or educational expenses increase
A change in custody or parenting time impacts financial responsibilities
A parent has additional children from a new relationship, affecting support calculations
If a modification request meets legal requirements, the court may approve an adjustment to reflect the new financial reality.
Our Legal Process for Child Support Modifications
We take a strategic and results-driven approach to securing fair child support adjustments:
Case Evaluation – We review financial changes and determine eligibility for modification.
Filing the Motion – We prepare and submit a petition for modification with supporting documentation.
Negotiation & Mediation – If possible, we work with the other parent to reach an agreement before a court hearing.
Court Representation – If necessary, we present financial evidence before a judge to advocate for a fair adjustment.
Common Concerns About Child Support Modifications
“What if my ex refuses to provide financial information?”
➡ We can request court-ordered financial disclosures to ensure transparency.
“Can child support be reduced if I lose my job?”
➡ Yes, if you experience a substantial loss of income, the court may approve a modification.
“How long does the modification process take?”
➡ Timelines vary, but hearings are typically scheduled within a few months of filing.
