Could someone please clarify...
Can the child support payor unilaterally change the child support amount with FRO by providing them with a copy of the court order (indicating how CS is calculated) and their Income Tax Return (indicating their total income)?
Or do they have to have a new court support order each year?
The problem is that the child support recipient refuses to sign anything indicating a decrease in child support, even though the payor has had a decrease in income.
Yet when the matter goes to court, the judge does not take into account the decrease in income in the previous 12 months because the "current" salary is higher than the previous year's income, and bases child support on the higher amount instead. (If you ask me, this is COMPLETELY wrong. How does this " provide the fairest determination of actual income and determine an amount that is fair and reasonable in light of any pattern of income, fluctuation in income, or receipt of a non-recurring amount during those years" - as it is written word-for-word in the Child Support Guidelines?!)
So, is it possible to provide FRO with the Court Order and Notice of Assessment and ask them to make the necessary adjustments?
