Amend/Review Child Support (Income Changes Only)
Overview
Child support may be ordered as its own case, or ordered as part of a family law case, such as divorce, legal separation, paternity, or establishing parenting rights and responsibilities.
If a North Dakota state district court has ordered payment of child support, a party may request that the court review and amend the order based on changes in income.
