Almost every legal action carries some risk depending on your situation. A lot of that is determined by the particulars of your circumstances. For example, if you request child support order modifications then there’s a chance the other party will be displeased which could lead to increased hostility. There’s also the chance that the court will not grant the order modification to your liking or as you predicted. This is why it’s so important to have an educated and experienced family law attorney to help navigate your change of circumstance and advice if they feel you can successfully modify an existing court order.
