I am writing to formally request a reduction in the child support payments for my child, [Child's Full Name], in accordance with the laws and regulations of the state of Mississippi. The purpose of this request is to outline the reasons behind my request and provide relevant supporting documentation. Firstly, I would like to express my sincere commitment to fulfilling my obligations as a responsible parent. However, due to a significant change in my financial circumstances, I find the current child support payment order to be burdensome and unattainable. Therefore, I kindly request a revision of the child support amount to be reflective of my present financial situation. To provide a comprehensive understanding of my situation, I have outlined the significant changes below: 1. Employment Status: Since the initial child support order was established [mention the date], I have experienced a substantial change in my employment status. Unfortunately, I have been retrenched from my previous position and have been actively seeking alternative employment opportunities. However, the current job market conditions have made securing a stable income challenging. 2. Income Reduction: As a result of my job loss, my monthly income has been drastically reduced. I have enclosed relevant documentation, including recent pay stubs, to provide evidence of my decreased income. 3. Unforeseen Financial Obligations: Additionally, I have recently incurred unexpected financial obligations, such as medical expenses for [Child's Full Name]. These unforeseen circumstances have further exacerbated my financial strain, making it even more difficult to meet the existing child support payment obligations. 4. Custodial parent's financial status: It has come to my attention that the custodial parent's financial situation has significantly improved over time. Based on investigative efforts, I have gathered evidence showcasing their increased income, assets, and improved financial stability. I respectfully request that this information be considered in the evaluation of my request for a reduction in child support payments. Enclosed with this letter, you will find copies of the following supporting documents: 1. Recent pay stubs or income statements verifying my reduced income. 2. Receipts or evidence of the unexpected financial obligations incurred. 3. Supporting documentation indicating the improvement in the custodial parent's financial status. I trust that you will give due consideration to my request, understanding the genuine financial hardships I am currently facing. I kindly request a prompt evaluation of my case and would appreciate any guidance or additional information you may need to facilitate this process. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I genuinely believe that a revision of the child support payments will enable me to provide the necessary support for my child without unnecessarily straining my financial resources. I look forward to your favorable response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
