Petitioner acknowledges the following: • • • • • If the petition was filed within 2 ½ years of the last calculation of current support, only modifications of greater than 10% will be imposed. Whenever a modification petition is filed, the result may increase or decrease the obligation without regard to who filed the petition. If back support or arrears are owed the modified Order should include a reasonable repayment schedule. Loss of license and incarceration for nonpayment of child support are not grounds for modification of child support. If a Petitioner sends a copy of the Petition to the Respondent by certified mail, the Order may be effective the date of receipt. Otherwise modification Petitions are sent by regular mail and any modification will be from the date of the new Order only. Therefore, the Petitioner requests the child support obligation be recalculated pursuant to the Delaware Child Support Formula. Date Petitioner/Attorney American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkflow.com
