What is the name of your state? NY
My husband's ex has been trying to get a CS increase for the past several months. Her petition keeps getting thrown out because she is not mentioning the needs of the child.
They had a stipulation of settlement for $150 per week that was merged into the divorce decree. The magistrate has told her in the past whenever she has filed for an increase it is VERY hard to modify a supreme court order for a divorce decree and that she has to show an unforeseen change in circumstances or substantial increased needs of the child.
To date, she has been denied every time she has requested an increase b/c she never really showed any increases in expenses that I guess the court thought were valid.
Anyway, what could constitute a substantial increase in the needs of a child? The child is 14 years old. Anyone with a 14 year old care to shed some light? Our children are toddlers so we're kind of in the dark at the types of expenses that go along with a teenager other than food, shelter and clothing. What would be some valid expenses? Thanks!What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?
