Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Ex-Spouse's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to discuss an important matter regarding our child support agreement, which requires your attention. As circumstances have changed since the establishment of our initial agreement, I kindly request a reduction in the child support payments. North Dakota law recognizes that life brings unexpected changes, and the legal system allows individuals to seek modifications to child support orders when deemed necessary. In order to proceed with this request, I have thoroughly researched the guidelines provided by the North Dakota child support enforcement agencies. As per the North Dakota Century Code Section 14-09 (07), the court promotes the best interests of the child and acknowledges a parent's right to request changes to the support amount if substantial changes in circumstances occur. Hence, I believe it is crucial to outline the specific circumstances that warrant a reduction in child support payments. [Describe the relevant circumstances:] 1. Income Reduction: Due to unforeseen circumstances such as job loss, decreased working hours, or a significant pay cut that resulted in a substantial decline in my income, I find it increasingly challenging to meet my financial obligations without affecting the child's well-being. 2. Medical Expenses: Our child has recently undergone medical treatment or requires ongoing medical care, resulting in additional expenses that were not accounted for in the initial child support agreement. These expenses are taking a toll on my financial stability. 3. Parenting Time Adjustment: There have been changes concerning the amount of time I spend with our child. As I now have increased parenting responsibilities, it is only fair to reassess the child support payments in light of these changes. [Discuss any other relevant circumstances specific to your situation:] I understand that any alteration to the child support agreement must be approved by the court. To ensure transparency and fairness, I propose seeking mediation or arbitration as a means to find a mutually agreeable solution. By engaging in an alternative dispute resolution process, we can work together to reach a resolution that considers the well-being of our child as the utmost priority. I kindly request your cooperation and understanding in this matter. Your timely response is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or would like to discuss further, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. Thank you for your attention and willingness to reconsider our child support arrangement. I believe that by working together, we can find a resolution that is fair and equitable for all parties involved. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
