See RCW 26.18.070. Parents must be responsible for caring for their children emotionally and financially. There are limited ways to change the amount of child support that may have been ordered in the past, either to raise it or lower it. Failure to pay support can result in extra expense to the person required to pay it. Children should not be caught in the middle of any dispute between their parents about money.
Child support is an adult matter.
Please leave your children out of any arguments. If you cannot resolve your matters with the other parent, the court is available to hear your case once you file the necessary documents. If you have questions or concerns about child support, it is wise to consult with an attorney. The Yakima Office of Support Enforcement located at 1002 North 16th Avenue in Yakima may be able to answer some of your questions about support.
