Can Child Support Be Modified in New York?
Yes, child support orders in New York can be modified under certain circumstances. Life is unpredictable, and situations change, making it necessary to adjust child support arrangements to reflect these changes accurately. Some common reasons for seeking a child support modification include:
- Change in Income: If either parent experiences a substantial change in income, such as job loss or a substantial salary increase, this can be a valid reason to request a modification.
- Change in Custody: A change in the custodial arrangement, such as the child spending more time with the non-custodial parent, may warrant a modification.
- Change in Child's Needs: If the child's expenses significantly change due to medical needs, educational expenses, or other factors, a modification may be appropriate.
- Three-Year Rule: In New York, child support orders can be reviewed and adjusted every three years without demonstrating a substantial change in circumstances.
- Emancipation: Child support typically ends when the child reaches the age of 21, but it can end earlier if the child becomes emancipated.
