due to fraud.

The Financial Statement must contain current personal and financial information to determine whether

the modification of child support is fair to each party. Failure of a party to file a Financial Statement

may result in a refusal by the Court to enter an Order to Modify Child Support. The Court may impose

sanctions against the party who does not file the required paperwork. Complete and file with the Court

spends more than 92 nights per year with each parent, they are considered to have two homes

child or children reside with that parent the majority of the time, you have a split physical care
