[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, Zip] Subject: Request for Reduction in Child Support Payments — [Case Number] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally request a reduction in the child support payments I have been making in relation to my [child's name], as specified under the Vermont child support guidelines. Due to recent circumstances, I believe a modification in the existing child support order is necessary. I understand that child support payments are crucial for the well-being and upbringing of our child, and I take my financial responsibility seriously. However, I find myself facing significant financial hardship which hinders my ability to meet the current child support obligations. To provide you with a better understanding of my situation, I would like to explain the circumstances that have led to this request for a reduction in child support payments: 1. Change in Employment Status: [Explain any recent changes in your employment such as reduced work hours, temporary layoff, termination, or other factors affecting your income stability.] 2. Income Reduction: [Provide details about any reductions in income, including salary cuts, business downturns, or loss of bonuses.] 3. Health Issues: [If relevant, explain any medical conditions or disabilities that have recently emerged and have affected your earning capacity.] 4. Unforeseen Expenses: [Specify any unforeseen expenses that have put a strain on your financial resources, such as emergency medical bills, essential home repairs, or increased childcare expenses.] I have attached the necessary documentation, including recent pay stubs, proof of unemployment benefits (if applicable), medical records (if applicable), and any other relevant supporting documents. Given the circumstances described above, I kindly request a review of my child support case. I believe that a reduction in child support payments would be fair and just, considering my current financial situation. I am proposing a realistic adjustment that will allow me to continue supporting my child adequately while also attending to my other financial responsibilities. If you require any additional information or documents to facilitate this review, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone number] or [email address]. I am more than willing to provide any further documentation or discuss my situation in person. I truly value the importance of providing for my child and want to ensure their well-being. Furthermore, I hope we can work together to find a suitable resolution that is both fair and reasonable for all parties involved. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt response. Sincerely, [Your Name]
