Dear Tracy, Moving from the state is not a sufficient change in circumstances to modify child support, but it is sufficient to modify custody, I’m not sure which specifically you are asking about. If it has been three years since you last calculated child support you would be eligible to recalculate it because the law assumes that over three years there will be a change in circumstances.

If you have a “Consent Order” that is three years old do you have to have a change in circumstance to go back and calculate child support? Also the “consent order” does not spell out if one or both parties move from the state in which is listed in the order what will occur? Is this enough for a change in circumstance to go back for a modification to get that addressed? Please Help!! Thank you
