Permanent child support

If there is no termination date in your temporary order, and no one goes back to court to have a permanent order issued, then the temporary order will likely continue. Otherwise, unless you the other parent agree in a Consent Order on permanent child support, then you’ll have to go back to court. Keep in mind that child support can always be modified based on a substantial change in circumstances.

Good luck,

I’ve just gone to court yesterday for temporary child support. How does this to become permanent? Do I have to pay my lawyer and go back to court again? How does it work?
