Creating or Changing a Court Order
Creating an Order
To create a support order, the child support agency needs some basic information such
as:
- Names of parents and children
- Social Security Numbers
- Addresses
- Phone numbers
- Income of parents
The child support attorney will use the information to decide if a court action is
needed. The court may issue a support order.
When Parents Live in Different States
If one parent lives in a different state Child Support will work with the other state
to create or change a support order.
Changing an order
There may be times when the amount of support ordered should be changed.
Child Support Enforcement may review a support order once every three years. A review
may also be done if there is a major change in income for either parent.
When a case is reviewed, the support ordered may stay the same, increase, or decrease.
To request a review, call 1-877-631-9973.
Modification
After the review is complete the case is sent to the local attorney. The attorney will
decide if the case should go to court. The court makes the final decision if the support
order will be changed.
