[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Child Support Agency Name] [Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Request for Reduction in Child Support Payments Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to request a reduction in my child support payments due to a significant change in my financial circumstances. I am a resident of San Bernardino, California, and I would like to provide you with the necessary information regarding my case. My current child support order was established [mention the date of the original order], based on my financial situation at that time. However, recently, I have encountered several financial challenges, including job loss, increased living expenses, and unexpected medical bills. These circumstances have significantly affected my ability to meet the existing child support obligations. To substantiate my claims for a reduction in child support payments, I have enclosed the following supporting documents: 1. Proof of Job Loss: — Termination letter from my previous employer — Documentation of my efforts in seeking new employment, such as job application records and interview details 2. Revised Income and Financial Documents: — Recent pay stubs (if currently employed) or documentation of any temporary income source — W-2 forms for the past two year— - Latest tax returns — Bank statements for the past three months — Proof of any other financial obligations that I am currently responsible for (such as rent/mortgage, utilities, medical bills, etc.) 3. Budget Analysis: — A detailed breakdown of my current monthly expenses, including rent/mortgage, utilities, transportation, groceries, insurance, medical bills, and any other essential living costs — A comparison of my current expenses against my income to illustrate the financial strain that current child support payments impose I would appreciate your thorough consideration of my request, taking into account the financial hardships I am currently facing. I understand the importance of fulfilling my parental responsibilities; however, I firmly believe that a reduction in child support payments is necessary to ensure the well-being of both myself and my children. I am willing to participate in any review processes or hearings required to assess my eligibility for a reduction in child support payments. Additionally, I am open to discussing alternative arrangements or suggesting a temporary modification until my financial situation stabilizes. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I kindly request a prompt response to initiate the necessary proceedings. Please feel free to contact me at [your phone number] or [your email address] to discuss this request further or to request any additional information you may require. Sincerely, [Your Full Name]
