After passage of a new law, effective July 1, 2017, would a parent be able to have his existing child support order modified to bring it into line with the new child support guidelines? The answer is that the passage of the new law, in and of itself, is not a basis to have your child support modified.
You will still need to show a "substantial change in circumstances" other than the change in the law for the court to modify your child support. However, if you are able to demonstrate a change in circumstances after July 1, 2017, your child support will be modified in accordance with the new law, as opposed to the law in place at the time the original order was entered.
