What is considered a significant change to lower child support?

Either parent can force child support to be reviewed at any time, but change will occur only if the recalculation results in a change in the calculated support amount of 10% or more. The way to force the modification is to file a Petition to Modify, which requires payment of the filing fee applicable in the county where the petition is filed.The smart way to manage child support, if you and the other parent are cooperative and talking to each other, is simply to share your 1040's each year and recalculate child support informally. If you find out that it's time for it to change, you can simply have one lawyer prepare a Joint Petition to Modify that you both sign and file. It is not smart to simply begin paying an amount lower than that determined by the court. If you're the one paying, and you begin paying a lower amount, any time the other parent gets angry with you, or just needs more money, he or she can go back to court and recover the deficiency, no matter how many times he or she may have assured you that it was okay for you to pay less.
