Re: child support modification

Thank you for your inquiry.

Based upon the increase of your ex-husband's income of $300,000.00 per year, you can definately make an application to the Court for an increase.

As my office handles many post-judgment divorce matters, please contact my office at 732-246-0909 to discuss your case.

Very truly yours,

Edward R. Weinstein
