[charless]

State: MA. Does anyone know if child support modification cases are being heard in-person or remote?

No idea. But bear in mind that circumstances may have changed dramatically (for one or both of you) since your last posts on the matter...

A. Telephonic/Videoconference/Virtual Hearings

Whenever practical and possible, the Court shall conduct hearings by telephone or videoconference rather than having people appear in person or rescheduling event dates. The Probate and Family Court may also consider matters through an administrative review process and determine motions in accordance with Rule 78.
