Q: I currently pay child support to my ex for my 6 year old son. I read that once a child turns 11 child support can be increased. Is this true and if so how much?
A: David's Answer: No, it's not dependent on the age of the child - it is dependent, however, on the age of the order. If your order is more than 3 years old (& it sounds as though it is), then either party may file a petition for modification without the need to prove a "substantial change of circumstances." Schedule a consult with a Child Support lawyer in your area for more info. -- David Bliven, Westchester Child Support attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
