Question: Can Support Amounts be Changed?

Answer: Yes. A change in child support can be effectuated upon the following:

1. Upon a showing of a substantial change in circumstances;

2. Or upon a showing of a need to provide for the health care needs of the child through either health insurance or other means.

Any modification of a support order must be done by the court and it doesn't become legal until the court says so.

For the law on terminating, reviewing or modifying maintenance (alimony) see "Alimony-How Much and How Long?"
