Dear gatorjohn:

Greetings. There are no “forms” for a modification of child support. Instead, you have to file a Motion to Modify Child Support. Generally you will need to have an attorney draft this for you or draft it on your own. You would file the Motion to Modify with the Clerk of Court in Wake County and send a copy of the same to your ex (or her attorney). Best of luck.

Hello:
I residing out of state but my ex and two dependant children live in Raleigh. My question is what forms do I need to file and with whom to ask for a modification in child support payments? They live in Wake County. I cannot afford an attorney.

Thanks
