Sample Letter for Request for Reduction in Child Support Payments [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Request for Reduction in Child Support Payments Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. I am writing to formally request a reduction in my child support payments as per the current obligation outlined in the Maine Child Support Guidelines. Due to recent changes in my financial circumstances, I find it necessary to seek a modification to ensure the continued support of my child. I would like to provide detailed information regarding the reasons behind my request for a reduction in child support payments: 1. Change in Employment Status: I regretfully inform you that I recently lost my job due to unexpected company restructuring. As a result, my income has significantly reduced, rendering it difficult for me to maintain the same level of child support payments as set initially. 2. Substantial Decrease in Income: The loss of my job has forced me to secure new employment with a lower salary. After carefully examining my current financial situation and commitments, it is clear that meeting the current child support obligation would impose a severe financial strain on me and affect my ability to provide essential needs for my child. 3. Increased Financial Responsibilities: Alongside the loss of income, several unforeseen financial responsibilities have emerged, including necessary medical expenses, increased transportation costs, and essential household repairs. These additional expenses have exceeded my financial capabilities, hindering my ability to meet the current child support obligation. In light of the aforementioned circumstances, I kindly request a thorough review of my child support payments to ensure they are modified to better reflect my current financial situation. I genuinely believe that a reduction in child support payments is necessary to strike a fair balance between the continued support of my child and my ability to meet other essential financial obligations. Enclosed with this letter, please find supporting documentation, including recent pay stubs, unemployment benefit statements, and any other pertinent financial records to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of my request. I understand the significance of child support, and I remain committed to fulfilling my obligations to the best of my abilities. However, I sincerely hope you will consider my request for a reduction in child support payments and take into account the extenuating circumstances I have outlined. I kindly request a prompt response to this matter. Please inform me of any additional documentation or steps required to move forward with this modification request. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
