Child Support

Can my child support order be changed?

Once a court order establishing child support has been entered, either parent can ask the court to change the order if one of two things have happened:

  • it has been more than three years since the order was entered; or
  • there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the order was entered – for example, the paying parent losing their job.1
