Request to Adjust Child Support Order

Request to Adjust Child Support Order
1. My name is: . I ask the court to adjust the Child Support Order. I am filing and serving proposed Child Support Schedule Worksheets at the same time as this Request.
Important! Check your local rules for other forms and information that must be filed with this Request.2. Is the state filing this Request? (Check one):
No. This Request is filed by a parent or non-parental custodian.
Yes. The state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) is filing this Request because (check all that apply):
the children receive public assistance.
the children do not receive public assistance, but one of the parties asked DSHS to review the order and DSHS decided the order should be adjusted.
another state or jurisdiction asked for this adjustment.
Ø Why should the court adjust child support? (Check all that apply):
3. Two years or more have passed
Does not apply.
At least two full years (24 months) have passed since the current order was signed and any step increase took effect and (check all that apply):
the economic table or standards in RCW 26.19 have changed.
the parents’ income has changed. (Explain the changes here or use a separate Declaration form (DRPSCU 01-100) and/or Financial Declaration form (DRPSCU 02-100)):
4. Current Order allows periodic adjustment
Does not apply.
The current Child Support Order says support may be adjusted now.
5. Need to set post-secondary educational support amount
Does not apply.
The current order says the parents must pay for the children’s post-secondary educational support (for college or vocational school), but did not set a payment amount or percentage. I believe the court can decide this issue through a Request to Adjust Child Support Order either because the current order allows it or it is the appropriate method.
I ask the court to order a specific post-secondary support amount or percentage of expenses for (children’s names): who will be ready to start a college or vocational program around (month/year): .
Post-secondary support should be paid as follows (explain):
