Payment Dispute In Custody
Summary
In Illinois, modifying a court order requires demonstrating significant changes in circumstances or misrepresentation. If a formal agreement specified payment responsibilities and is not being honored, it could strengthen your case. Gather evidence like written agreements and communications to support your claim. If you are financially unable to pay for high-cost activities due to having multiple children, include this in your motion to vacate and modify the order. Additionally, if you assumed the order would cover past due child support, state this clearly. Highlighting your current debt situation can further illustrate financial hardship. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation

should i add anything about how im in debt currently or is that too much?
Including information about your current debt situation can help illustrate your financial hardship and strengthen your case for modifying the order. Here’s a concise way to add it:
"I am currently in significant debt, which further limits my ability to pay for these high-cost activities. This financial strain impacts my ability to provide for my multiple children in the home."
