Article here. Excerpt:

'You may seek a modification in your existing Massachusetts child support order if it is inconsistent with the new 2013 Guidelines. Presumably, this will apply to all or almost all existing child support orders given the overall reductions that have been made.

Consider seeking a modification if any of the following factors may impact your child support.

1. Support guidelines were reduced, resulting in an average 11% decrease for one-child families and a 6% decrease for two child families.

2. A new formula was established for calculating support where parenting time is higher than the norm.

3. The court must now consider “availability of employment at the attributed income level.”

4. Orders for education costs for adult dependent children are not presumptive.'
