[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Court Name] [Judge's Name] [Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Request for Reduction in Child Support Payments Dear [Judge's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to request a reduction in my child support payments due to a significant change in my financial circumstances. As a responsible parent, it is my utmost priority to ensure the well-being of my child while also maintaining a fair and sustainable financial situation. I have been faithfully meeting my child support obligations ever since the initial order was issued. However, unforeseen circumstances have caused a substantial decline in my income. Due to [explain the reason for the income decrease], I am faced with an inability to maintain the current child support payment arrangement. In light of the above, I kindly request a modification of the child support order to better align with my current financial situation, ensuring I still have the financial means to provide for my child adequately. I understand that Arizona law allows for modifications to child support orders if there has been a substantial change in circumstances. I have enclosed the required documents to support my request for modification. These documents include: 1. Current pay stubs or income statements, demonstrating the decrease in income. 2. Proof of my recent medical expenses or any other exceptional financial commitments. 3. Any other relevant documentation supporting my financial situation, such as proof of unemployment benefits, employers' letters, or termination notice. Based on the provided documentation, I request that the court consider the following modifications to the child support payments: 1. Reduction in the monthly child support amount to reflect my current income. 2. Consideration of any outstanding medical expenses or extraordinary costs that have arisen due to the change in circumstances. 3. Adjustments to the visitation schedule or decision-making responsibilities if necessary. I assure you that my primary objective is to ensure the well-being and best interests of my child are met. I am committed to providing my child with emotional and financial support to the best of my ability. However, the current child support payment arrangement is placing an enormous burden on my finances, hindering my ability to fulfill my parental responsibilities effectively. I kindly request that a hearing be scheduled to review my request for a reduction in child support payments. I am available during the court's regular business hours and will make myself available as needed to facilitate the process. Furthermore, I appreciate your careful consideration of my request, and thank you for taking the time to review my circumstances. Furthermore, I am confident that, with your wisdom and guidance, we can reach a fair and equitable resolution that puts the best interests of my child first. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided contact details. Sincerely, [Your Name]
