How to Modify Child Support in Massachusetts
Massachusetts requires a 20% or greater change in income to qualify for a modification review. Other qualifying circumstances include:
- Significant change in custody or parenting time
- Child's needs have substantially changed
- Job loss or major income reduction
- Three years have passed since the last order (automatic review period)
⚠️ Never stop paying support without a court order. Arrears accrue at 12%/year interest in Massachusetts. File for modification immediately if your circumstances change.
