Probably not. Judges aren’t likely to take seriously a petition arguing that minor income from a child’s summer or weekend job reflects a change in circumstance that warrants a new calculation of child support, and as an added factor, it’s positive to support a child’s development of work skills and experience.
That said, there may be instances where a change in circumstances is warranted. In the modern economy, there are cases where teens end up in specialized roles like computer programming, or launch a successful online business.
If your child’s income from their part time job is very high, it may be time to discuss modification.
The attorneys at Friedman & Ranzenhofer can help make sure that your child support payments provide for your child, without creating an unnecessary burden on you.
