SSC: Stop/Modify Order of Assignment When Parties Do Not Agree

Superior Court CHANGE AN INCOME WITHHOLDING ORDER WHEN PARTIES AGREE

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

You have an "Income Withholding Order" that was entered in Maricopa County, AND
You wish to modify the order, AND
All parties agree to modify the Income Withholding Order, AND
You have notarized signatures of all parties on the agreement (as well as the signature of the IV-D agency representative if any party is using the child support collection services of the state).
At least one of the following conditions applies to you:

You want to "modify the Income Withholding Order" because:

The amount shown in the "Income Withholding Order" is wrong or was changed by court order;
You have paid up all amounts you owed for past-due support and/or spousal maintenance (alimony), and only have to pay current child support and/or spousal maintenance, which will make your monthly payments go down;
You still owe money for past due child support or spousal maintenance, but the current payments for maintenance or support should stop because the child named on the order has turned 18 and is out of school or one of the other conditions for ending payments listed in the child support order or permitted by law has occurred - so you should pay less;
The "Child Support Order" is based on an amount per child, per month, and one or more of the children have married, died, reached age 18, or other condition for ending child support listed on the child support order or permitted by law has been met, so you should pay less.

Do NOT use the forms and instructions in this packet if the following factors apply to you:

You want to lower the amount of the assignment because your income is now lower (You must file a request or agreement to change / modify the Child Support Order)!
You want to stop the Income Withholding Order completely (If so, you must file forms to STOP (not modify) the Income Withholding Order;
The parties do not agree to Modify the Income Withholding Order;
The other party will not sign the agreement (in front of a notary or court clerk).
