Subject: Request for Reduction in Child Support Payments — Alaska Sample Letter [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Family Law Court] [Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a reduction in the child support payments I am currently required to make based on unforeseen changes in my financial circumstances. I am a resident of Alaska, and I appreciate your consideration of this matter in accordance with the laws governing child support obligations in our state. Firstly, it is important to clarify that I have always prioritized my responsibilities towards my child and complied with my child support obligations to the best of my abilities. However, due to recent financial developments, I am facing significant financial hardships that necessitate a reduction in the amount I am presently required to pay. [Alaska-specific details and circumstances: Mention the applicable legislation or guidelines in Alaska such as Alaska Statutes — Title 25, Chapter 25.24 and Alaska Child Support Services Division.] I am providing the following details to support my request for a child support modification: 1. Change in Employment Status: I regretfully inform you that I have recently lost my job [or specify relevant changes, e.g., reduction in work hours, salary cuts, etc.]. This change has led to a substantial decrease in my monthly income, making it exceedingly difficult to meet the current child support payment obligations. 2. Documented Income and Expense Alterations: Enclosed are documented proof of my current income, including pay stubs, bank statements, and any relevant documentation demonstrating the decline in my financial resources. Additionally, I have outlined my updated monthly expenses to emphasize the need for a reduction in child support payments. 3. Attempts to Secure Sustainable Employment: Despite the unforeseen circumstances, I have been diligently searching for alternative employment opportunities. I firmly believe that securing a new job will help stabilize my financial situation and enable me to meet my child support obligations more effectively. [Note any measures taken in the job-seeking process, such as attending job fairs, networking, or submitting applications.] 4. Ongoing Parental Involvement: It is crucial to mention that despite my financial difficulties, my dedication and involvement in our child's life remain unwavering. I consistently prioritize spending quality time with our child, ensuring their well-being, supporting their educational needs, and contributing to other essential expenses beyond child support requirements. It is my sincere intention to maintain consistent and fair financial support to secure the welfare of our child. Taking into account the challenging circumstances outlined above, I kindly request a reduction in my child support payments in line with Alaska's laws and regulations. I am available and willing to provide any additional supporting documents or attend a hearing, if necessary, to facilitate the review process. I genuinely hope that the court will consider my request and issue a revised child support order that aligns with my current financial capabilities. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I remain committed to fulfilling my parental obligations and look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
