SSC: To Change (Modify) Child Support By the Simplified Process

Superior Court TO CHANGE (MODIFY) CHILD SUPPORT BY THE SIMPLIFIED PROCESS ("Simplified Mod")

ATTENTION: Use the forms on this page if the following factors apply to your situation:

You have a Maricopa County child support order and you believe the amount you pay or receive should be changed, AND,
You have completed a "Parent's Worksheet for Child Support" and the result for Item 35 is different from the amount of your current order by at least 15%, OR
You want to assign responsibility or change who is responsible for medical insurance. A modification of the medical assignment or responsibility does not need to vary by 15% or more from the existing child support amount. Typically, this procedure is used when there has been a change in the income of the parent(s), OR
There are two or more children and support is no longer owed for one child but is still owed for others.
Typically, this procedure is used when there has been a change in the income of the parent(s).

DO NOT USE THESE FORMS:

To change spousal support/maintenance (alimony);
If your order is from a court outside this county (unless an attorney has advised you to);
If the amount of the change in the order is not at least 15%;
If the reason you are requesting the change is because the living arrangements of the child(ren) have changed but the court order about Legal Decision Making (Custody) and visitation has not.
