Support payments, either SS or C/S, are linked to the incomes of both former spouses. And we all know that income changes from year to year (may not be that big but certainly possible ~ +/- $10K depending on if there is bonus etc or change of jobs). Support payments, from a formal court order, are registered with FRO to get enforced on, and FRO only deals with a case when there is an exact amount by court.
To reflect the changes of Income on C/S payment for example, I know normally there would be a clause in the Separation or Divorce Agreement, stating that the parents should exchange their Tax returns in July. But how would this change of income get translated into new C/S amount and implemented? It seems to me that unless the parties go back to court each year to have the new amount figured out (if there is indeed a change every year), there is not much for the FRO to do.
How is this dealt with in real life?
