Is child support modification possible?

Hello. I am a divorce specialist attorney at Daeryun Law Firm.

You must have had a lot of worries about your child's child support issue.

As in the situation you mentioned, child support determined at the time of divorce can be modified through the court if there is a change in circumstances.

A request for child support modification is possible when (1) the child's age or situation has changed, (2) there has been a change in economic circumstances, or (3) due to inflation or increased education costs, it has become realistically difficult to raise the child with the existing child support.

In fact, the court determines whether to modify child support by comprehensively considering the increase in the child's age, school enrollment or medical expense expenditure, parents' income changes, inflation, etc.

When filing a 'request for child support modification trial' under the Family Litigation Act, if you carefully organize and submit the child's current situation, education costs, living expense expenditure details, and the other party's income or property changes, the court will recalculate child support at a reasonable level.

If the other party refuses to pay child support or is in arrears, compulsory execution is also possible through provisional seizure, salary seizure, or payment order application.

In the current situation where the burden of children's educational and living expenses has increased, sufficient grounds for child support modification can be recognized, so we recommend receiving legal consultation promptly and preparing the procedure.
