Answer: Yes. A change in child support can be effectuated upon the following:
A. Upon a showing of substantial change in circumstances;
B. Or upon a showing of a need to provide for the health care needs of the child through either health insurance or other means.
Any modification of a support order must be done by the court and it doesn’t become legal until the court says so.
