Making sure that child support is fairly paid is important. If you pay or receive child support and want to assess the situation, you can use a Child Support Review Letter as a request that helps you get a formal review. Perhaps you think a higher payment is in order, or you think it should be lowered. Either way, a Child Support Review Letter helps you figure it out, and getting started in making sure it is the right amount.
Use the Child Support Review Letter document if:
You pay child support and would like to request a review of your obligation.
You receive child support and would like the support reassessed.
Although getting a state agency or legal aid office to take a look at your child support situation may take effort, a Child Support Review Letter can help you get a review. Maybe you pay child support and your income situation has changed. Or maybe you receive support and don't think the current situation is fair. When children are involved, it's crucial to keep finances up to date. Although criteria for a review varies in different places, typically two years must have passed since the current support amount has been established, or there needs to be evidence of a significant change that would affect the support amount. If the situation has changed, you can use a Child Support Review Letter to help get the review you need.
