What is a post-divorce modification of child support?

A post-divorce modification of child support in Indiana is a legal process whereby an individual can modify a prior court order to change the amount of financial support that is provided to the custodial parent and/or child. If an individual desires to modify a prior court order for child support, they must file a legal motion in the court that issued the original order. The individual must then show the court that something has changed in the circumstances of either the payer or the recipient of the child support that would cause the financial support to change. This could include a change in income of one of the parties or a change in the needs of the child, such as a sudden medical need. If the court agrees to a post-divorce modification, the new order will supersede the prior one.
