Tuition on top of Support

[Bloomer]

Depends on how long ago the change in schedule occured.

So long as the change occured after the child support order was entered then it is substantial enough grounds for a modification of support.

Judges will generally grant relief if relief is warranted and it may very well be that this poster is paying more support than he should be already. Only a Judge with all of the facts of the case in front of him can determine that; however, I think it is very rare for a Judge to say that they won't lower support based on so-and-so being a dumb-ass and not coming in so XX months ago to get it lowed when they could/should have.

Actually, I've seen it happen several times, Bloomer. After a certain period of time goes by, the "change in circumstances" becomes "status quo" in the judge's eyes. SO it's really a toss-up.
