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.


Child Support Review and Amendment Forms

North Dakota Legal Self Help Center forms aren’t official court forms and courts aren’t required to accept them. There’s no guarantee that all judges and courts will accept forms available through the Center. Use at your own risk.

These forms may be used to request review and amendment of a child support order based on income changes. You must have a North Dakota state district court order setting or reserving child support. These forms can’t be used to ask the court to change parenting time (visitation) or residential responsibility (custody).

Review the forms and instructions carefully! Follow the instructions for the forms packet and for the individual form.

The forms and instructions can be printed out and handwritten, if desired. You can fill in the blanks of the forms listed below by typing in the requested information on your computer keyboard. Print out each form when you complete your work. The form will clear when you close it.
