S8 Ep62: Does My Child Support Change If My Ex Gets a Big Raise?

#ChooseGoldman When an ex-spouse receives a significant pay raise, it may warrant an increase in child support. However, this change is not automatic and must be initiated through a formal court process governed by Michigan's specific legal guidelines. • A child support modification is not automatic; it requires filing a motion in court. • You must demonstrate a "significant change in circumstances," such as a large pay increase. • Michigan uses a specific Child Support Formula to calculate the amount. • The formula considers the income of both parents, not just the one who got a raise. • Parenting time (the number of overnights) is a crucial factor that can alter the final support payment.
