Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today to request a reduction in my child support payments, as my financial circumstances have changed significantly. First and foremost, I want to emphasize my unwavering commitment to ensuring the well-being and support of my child. However, due to various unforeseen circumstances, such as job loss, unforeseen medical expenses, or changes in income, I am finding it increasingly difficult to meet my current child support obligations. According to the [Ohio Family Court/Ohio Child Support Guidelines], a parent can request a modification of child support if there has been a substantial change in circumstances since the existing child support order was established. These changes may include a loss of income, unemployment, disability, or significant changes in the child's needs or the custodial parent's income. I would like to provide you with a detailed breakdown of the changes in my financial situation: 1. [Provide specific information about the change, such as job loss, reduced work hours, or decreased income.] 2. [Explain any additional financial burdens, such as unexpected medical expenses, that have significantly impacted your financial situation.] 3. [Include any relevant documentation, such as termination letters, medical bills, or financial statements, to support your claim.] Based on these circumstances, I kindly request the following relief: 1. A reduction in my monthly child support payments to an amount that is fair and reasonable considering my current financial situation. 2. A temporary suspension of child support payments for a specified period, allowing me to recover economically and regain stability. I understand that this request may require further assessment and verification of my financial status. However, I am more than willing to comply with any necessary documentation or court proceedings to facilitate this process. Additionally, I am open to alternative arrangements, such as revising the visitation schedule, if it aids in finding a mutually beneficial solution. I want to reiterate that my intention is not to evade my financial responsibilities. I love my child deeply and want to contribute to their upbringing as much as possible, given my current circumstances. This request for reduction is solely motivated by my genuine inability to meet the current child support obligations due to drastic changes in my financial situation. I kindly request your understanding and prompt attention to this matter. I believe that by revising my child support payments, we can ensure a more sustainable and fair arrangement for both parties involved. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me at [Your Contact Information] to further discuss this matter or request any additional information that may be necessary. Sincerely, [Your Name]
