The court's rulings on child support, child custody and visitation can all be revisited under certain circumstances. Although to numerous to list here, custody and visitation provisions can be modified when there has been a substantial change of circumstances since the entry of the prior court order. Child support can be modified when a recalculation of child support would result in an increase (or decrease) of $50.00 or 15%, whichever is greater.

While many child support modification cases involve the parent's changes in income, the increased (or decreased) cost of the child's health insurance or the child's day care expense can have a dramatic effect on the amount of child support. Also, certain visitation schedules may allow for decreased child support.
