Should I Notify Someone If My Income Changes?

If you have a support order through any court of law you are obligated to notify the courts of the changes whether you are the payer or payee. If your income goes up you may be forced into higher support payments, however, if your income goes down your support order should be modified to reflect that as well. Acting fast is your best bet to protect yourself. If you delay notifying the courts of an income increase you risk being subject to large back payments. If you delay notifying the courts of an income decrease you risk being unable to make your support payments and being held in contempt. Protect yourself, hire a family attorney to avoid support modification hassles.
