INSTRUCTIONS

The Modification Packet contains the following forms: Instructions for Modifications

(SCA-FC-200), Petition for Modification (SCA-FC-201), Bureau for Child Support Enforcement

Application and Income Withholding (FDVCSAP), Civil Case Information Statement (SCA-FC-103),

Financial Disclosure (SCA-FC-106), and Certificate of Service (SCA-FC-314).The Parenting Plan forms

are not included, but can be obtained at the Circuit Clerk’s Office or online at Read

these instructions carefully, and please write clearly when you fill in the forms. If the instructions are not

followed, or if the forms are not properly completed, your modification case may be harmed, or delayed.

It’s best to read all of the instructions before you start filling out forms.

These instructions will tell you about serving papers on the “other parties” in the case. Your

spouse or ex-spouse, for example, will often be referred to as the “opposing party;” and the Bureau of

Child Support Enforcement (BCSE) would in most instances be referred to as one of the “other parties.”

You will need copies of your completed forms for various purposes. You can have copies made in

the Circuit Clerk’s Office, or elsewhere. The law requires the Circuit Clerk to charge fifty cents a page.

You may want to make a couple of spare copies of each blank form you’ll be filling out. You can use

these spare copies to practice on, or use if you make an error.

The forms in this packet require you to provide your name, address, and telephone number. If you

believe the safety, liberty, or health of you or your children would be put at risk by the disclosure of

this information, you may file an affidavit to have the information withheld from all persons except

court employees who require the information to carry out their duties.

The affidavit you need to file is the Affidavit for Withholding Identifying Information

(SCA-FC-140). This affidavit form is not included in this packet. You can obtain the affidavit form at the

Circuit Clerk’s Office. You can complete and file the affidavit in the Circuit Clerk’s Office at any time,

or you can ask the Family Court Judge to enter an order allowing you to withhold the information.

If your identifying information is withheld, the other parties’ court papers will be served through

the Circuit Clerk, and not directly on you.
