Form 216 - General Answer to a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with Children, Form.
In North Carolina, the only way to legally alter a child support order is to petition the court for a modification of child support.
If your existing order is at least three years old, and if an application of the Guidelines to your current situation would change your child support by 15% or more, this is considered an automatic substantial change of circumstances.
But what does a ?substantial change in circumstances? even mean? Well, this means you need to show that the current custody situation has changed so drastically since the first custody order that the first order must be modified.
A change in circumstances at least 3 years after the last support order or review will warrant modification when at least a 15% difference (upwards or downwards) exists between the amount of the current obligation and the amount the party would owe if the obligation were calculated using their current income.
When changes to the financial position of either parent occurs, the parent can request a modification of the child support order.
Common ?substantial changes in circumstances? may include: a loss or gain of employment, a sudden change in either party's finances, a relocation of the parties or children, a death, a change in the child's wishes, etc.
If you want to change the custody order, you must take action by filing a petition with the family court ? usually, the court that issued the original custody order ? and by proving a material change in circumstances.
