As with all arrangements relating to children, there is no such thing as an absolutely final order or agreement for child support. It is always open to the court to change an order or agreement for child support, providing that the parties' circumstances, or the circumstances of the parties' children, have changed. Generally speaking, payors will want to apply to have support reduced or terminated when their income has decreased or the children have grown up, while recipients will want to apply to have support increased when the payor's income has gone up or if the children's special expenses have increased.
