Have you experienced any of these changes recently?
if I filed an objection already that was granted is that grounds for relief?
If your objection was granted, it may potentially be grounds for relief. However, it depends on the specifics of the objection and how it relates to the modification of child support. You might need to file a motion for modification based on the new evidence.
