FAQ
Courts award spousal support during the divorce process. The court will weigh factors such as domestic abuse, adultery and other marital misconduct, as well as the financial situation of each spouse after the separation.
Please complete an application for support online utilizing Pennsylvania's E-Services filing system. Use this link: E-Services. E-Services uses a series of questions to complete documents to be forwarded to Montgomery County Domestic Relations Section (DRS).
Visit the Family Court where your court order was issued and complete a Support Petition for Modification form (also known as form 4-11). Call the Family Court where your child support order was issued and they will mail you the Support Petition for Modification form. Fill it out and mail it back.
Change (modify) your child support order:  Either parent's gross income has changed by 15% or more since the order was last established, modified, or adjusted. A reduction in your income cannot be by your own choice.  One or more children on your order have emancipated (e.g., turned 21, married, joined military).
Work with your lawyer to persuade the court how the change will benefit the child: Prepare to demonstrate to the judge how your proposed modification to child support benefits your child. Usually, a change on its own won't suffice to justify a modification in child support.
While the standard answer is that child support can be modified every three years, exceptions are made when there is a substantial change in circumstances. If you've experienced a significant change in your income or your child's needs, it may be worth exploring your options for an earlier modification.
In your letter, you must identify who you are, state specifically what your change in circumstance is, and definitively request a review of your case. You will send this letter to the CSE caseworker assigned to your case in the regional office that enforces your order. You can find that information on the CSE website.
