Understanding Child Custody and Child Support
Many people do not understand how child custody and child support arrangements are determined. Child support is determined by a formula, but both custody and support arrangements are based on your circumstances. Because no two people have the exact same situation, you may pay more child support than your friends do or receive more parenting time than they have.

Child Support Guidelines
Because child support is based on a formula, there are no loopholes for avoiding payments. If your situation has changed since your original support arrangements were first created, you may be able to receive a post-judgment modification. Child custody and child support can be modified at any time with a court order. However, there must be a change of at least 15 percent of the current support payment for child support to be changed.
