Change in Financial Responsibilities: [Specify any new financial obligations you have acquired since the existing child support order, such as supporting a new dependent or assisting an aging family member]. I have attached supporting documents evidencing the aforementioned circumstances. Enclosed you will find: 1. Recent pay stubs for the past three months to provide a clear overview of my current income level. 2. Letters of termination, layoff, or any correspondence related to my job loss. 3. Medical records, doctor's notes, or any other relevant documentation that supports my health-related claims. 4. Custody or visitation agreements that show the adjustments made in the parenting time or custody arrangement. Considering the substantial financial changes I am facing, I kindly request that a hearing be scheduled to review my case and adjust the child support payments accordingly. I ask for your understanding and am hopeful that you will consider my situation empathetically. I am more than willing to cooperate and provide any additional documentation deemed necessary during the review process. Furthermore, I trust in the objective judgment of the Child Support Agency and its commitment to the best interests of my child. Please acknowledge receipt of this request in writing and inform me of the procedure to proceed with the modification process.
