Modification of Child Support in Long Island, New York
The Fathers’ Rights Association of New York State
After child support has been determined by the courts after a divorce or separation agreement in Long Island, New York, it is possible to modify the agreement to accommodate a new situation or change in situation of the parents or child/children. A standard modification of child support must be done in order for you to alter the amount you are paying or receiving. Making a verbal agreement or an agreement out of court can result in issues arising in the future.
A family law attorney can help you if you are a father seeking to modify your terms of child support. Whether you are paying child support or receiving child support, a Long Island fathers’ rights attorney can review your particular case in order to determine what can be done to modify child support. Child support modification can be complex and time consuming, but with the proper attention of a skilled attorney this can go quite smoothly and you can reach a new agreement which works better for you and your child.
Modification of child support may be necessary if a parent involuntarily loses his or her employment, if his or her vocation disappears, or if the needs of the child change. Whatever the particular circumstance, it takes special attention and knowledge to assert your rights as a father in these situations and help ensure that your position is accurately represented.
