In Washington, there are contested and uncontested child support modifications. If both parents agree on the changed support amounts, you can request the judge to enter the order modifying the child support. If you are unable to agree on a child support modification, the requesting parent can file a Petition to Modify, including documentary evidence of the changed situation that led to the request to change.

Whether you are involved in a contested or uncontested child support modification case, you want proper legal advice that takes into account not only your rights and options, but also the best interests of your child. Depending on the case, we represent parents on either side of these issues, and we can help you consider your options for child support adjustments and child support modifications:

• Child Support Adjustments: Every two years, you are entitled to a review of your current plan, where the courts will put your new financial numbers into the state formula.
• Child Support Modifications: If there have been changes in your circumstances that are not accounted for by the formula, such as college payments, extracurricular activities, or medical bills, you could be eligible for a complete child support modification.

If your current situation has changed enough to merit a child support adjustment or modification, you may also want to consider modifying your custody and visitation plan as well. We can help you obtain parenting plan modifications as necessary.
