Child Support Modification

PREPARATION WORKSHEET — DO NOT FILE OR SIGN UNDER OATH

Transfer verified information only into the current official forms accepted or
required by the tribunal with authority over the support order.

CONNECTICUT CHILD-SUPPORT MODIFICATION ROUTING WORKSHEET

1. Existing Order and Case Control

Attach every operative order. Do not rely on a private agreement, payment
history, agency screen, docket summary, or memory as the current order.

2. Tribunal, Route, and Interstate Gate

Do not assume that residence in Connecticut creates modification authority or
that an agency review and a judicial modification use the same trigger, form,
effective date, or remedy.

3. Current Authority, Guidelines, and Forms

Complete this table from sources current on the intended filing date.

4. Official Filing Set

This worksheet intentionally supplies no form number, docket format, county
division, oath, notary block, service method, or signature rule.

5. Modification Ground and Change Evidence

Do not use a private percentage, dollar, month, or “substantial change” formula.
Apply the current standard for the selected court or agency route and distinguish
a screening threshold from the tribunal's modification findings.

6. Income and Financial Record

Collect the current documents required by the official form and discovery
rules. Do not assume an annual exchange, thirty-day update, or ten-day
employment-notice duty unless current authority or the existing order supplies
it.

7. Child-Related Costs and Coverage

Confirm eligibility, reasonableness, availability, tax treatment, subsidy,
reimbursement, notice, proof, and allocation under the current guidelines and
order. No percentage is supplied by this worksheet.

8. Guideline Calculation and Deviation Record

Do not build a homemade calculator. Preserve the completed official worksheet,
source records, assumptions, rounding, and any departure explanation.

9. Effective Date, Arrears, Credit, and Withholding

Keep modification, enforcement, contempt, arrears adjudication, credit,
withholding, tax intercept, license, and other remedies on their correct routes.
This worksheet does not make any sanction or fee automatic.

10. Notice and Service Plan

Actual knowledge, electronic delivery, prior participation, or consent does not
have a preset service or waiver effect in this worksheet.

11. Requested Relief and Proposed Order Control

Do not ask to “vacate” the entire prior order if only specified support terms
should change. The proposed order must state exactly what remains, changes,
begins, ends, accrues, is credited, or is administered.
