Lowering child support
I moved and I have not changed the child support order because I am making more money. However, I am not sure how to go about it exactly do I close one support order in my former state or just inform them about my move and than change it to my new state. Not sure. any information would be appreciated.

You need to contact the child support agency you are currently dealing with to give them the new information. And depending on the difference in the increase in your income, it may not make that much of a difference in the support ordered amount.

Yes. Contact the child support office.
Your income should not affect the amount of child support you receive? I thought it was based on the male's income.Found an answer to your question?

In some states that doesn't matter. Where I am, it's soley based off of the non-custodial parents income.
