Alabama Petition for Support

According to the Alabama Schedule of Basic Child-Support Obligations, the total child support obligation is $1,192. The total child support obligation must be divided between the parents in proportion to their adjusted gross incomes. The percentage of the gross income is used to figure the dollar amount.

Minimum basic child support obligation is $100 per month.

Generally speaking, child support obligations in Alabama will be owed until the child reaches the age of 19. That is considered the age of majority in this state.Prior to the child turning 19, these payments can be modified at the request of either parent on various grounds.

If you are looking to modify your child support payments, you should contact the other parent first and see if both of you can agree to modify the child support terms. If you can, then you will both need to petition the court and request an order reflecting the new child support agreement.

Alabama now offers two new ways to pay your child support. Payments may be made by using ExpertPay or MoneyGram. For more information on how to sign up and make a payment using one of these methods go to www.expertpay.com or www.moneygram.com.
