Ask a Lawyer: CHILD SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT REQUIREMENTSPosted by: Dads Divorce on Dec 7, 2009   |

Question:
I have been ordered through the Virginia State Child Support office to pay child support to my former spouse who is currently residing in Montgomery County in Maryland. I need to have an adjustment hearing due to the fact that I am currently the Primary Provider for 3 children whom I have adopted legally in Ghana. What are the prerequisites for earning an adjustment? Please accept my advanced thanks for your support.
Answer:
Every state will have different guidelines for child support modifications. I am not licensed in Maryland or Virginia. They may have different guidelines in each state. I cannot surmise from your question if your child support is an order from MD or VA. First, you must determine that then contact an attorney in that state. Usually modifications are based on change of circumstances, usually income. However, subsequent children may be factored into the equation. I would also recommend using an online calculator to give you an idea if your support will change.
