I am writing to formally request a reduction in my child support payments for my [son/daughter], [Child's Name], in light of recent changes in my financial circumstances. I have always prioritized fulfilling my financial obligations towards my child's well-being, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I find myself facing significant financial challenges that make it difficult for me to maintain the current level of child support payments as ordered by the Houston Texas Family Court. The recent economic downturn, combined with a substantial decrease in my income has greatly affected my financial stability. [Provide specific details on the reasons for your financial hardships, such as job loss, salary reduction, medical expenses, etc.] I have attached all relevant financial documents, including bank statements, pay stubs, tax returns, and any other necessary records, to support my request for a reduction in child support payments. These documents accurately demonstrate the decline in my financial situation and my inability to meet the current support obligations without enduring severe financial hardship. I want to emphasize that my intention is not to shirk my responsibilities as a parent. Rather, I am seeking a temporary reduction in child support payments until my financial situation stabilizes. I remain committed to supporting my child in every possible way, even if it means making sacrifices in other aspects of my life. Considering the current circumstances, I kindly request a meeting or hearing to discuss this matter further and explore potential alternatives that would allow me to meet my obligations to the best of my abilities without compromising the well-being of my child. I am open to mediation or any other collaborative process to reach a fair and equitable agreement. I want to assure you that, despite these financial difficulties, I still actively participate in my child's life and ensure their emotional and educational needs are adequately met. My commitment to being actively involved in their upbringing remains unwavering. I kindly request your prompt attention to my request and look forward to working together to establish a modified child support arrangement that reflects my current financial state while ensuring the well-being of my child. Thank you for considering my petition. Should you require any further information or documentation to process this request, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided phone number or email address. I appreciate your time and understanding. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
