Child support in Michigan can be modified in two ways. First, each parent has the right to request the Friend of the Court investigate the amount of child support every three years. Second, a parent may petition the court to modify child support if there has been a significant change of circumstance, which is defined as a 10% change of income. Under this rule, if a parent has a 10% reduction in income or believes the other parent has had a 10% increase in income, they may petition for a modification. The request must be filed with the court. An attorney can file a modification request for you.
