How to Get Your Child Support Amount Raised

Do you feel that you should be receiving more money in child support? Are you ready to request that the other parent begin to pay more? While this is never a simple process to tackle, it is possible if you take the right steps.

In the state of Utah, child support obligations are based on an income share formula created by the Utah State Legislature.

In short, the income of both parents is used to calculate the monthly child support amount. Along with this, there are other factors taken into consideration, such as the number of children.

Do you have reason to believe that the amount of child support should be increased? If so, it is possible to ask for a review and adjustment. However, it only makes sense to do this if it has been at least three years since the order was issued and/or there has been a significant change in circumstances.

During the review, it is determined if the child support amount should be increased.

If you are interested in requesting a review and possible adjustment, you must make a request in writing to ORS/CSS.

There is no guarantee that you can get your child support amount raised. If you have reason to believe this should happen, however, don’t hesitate to take the necessary steps. You have the right to receive the appropriate amount of money, and nothing should stop you from doing so.

Maybe your request is approved. Maybe your request is denied. Either way, you will at least have a better idea of what the future holds.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Navigating a divorce is never easy, and I am so grateful to have had the support of attorney Nathaniel Garrabrandt and paralegal Carren Leavitt. From start to finish, they were responsive, professional, and compassionate. I really appreciated the weekly check-in Every phone call and email was answered promptly. There were moments when I needed immediate help with custody issues and protection—Nathaniel handled those situations with calm expertise and gave me the reassurance I needed during such a stressful and uncertain time.

Divorce can feel overwhelming, but having strong legal guidance made all the difference. Nathaniel and Carren provided not only the legal knowledge but also the steady support that helped me feel protected and confident moving forward. I couldn’t recommend Briwn Family Law more highly to anyone needing a reliable and caring legal team!

This has honestly been a first-class experience! I've gotten to work with many attorneys throughout my life and none have been as attentive as, Clay Randle has been.
Daniel and Carren were great to work with. They took time to help me understand the process and get through a difficult time. When I had questions they were quick to respond and really listened to my concerns.
