Recently, one of them has had a lot of dental trouble and requires costly on-going treatment.The other needs private lessons as he has fallen behind at school .

Maintenance / Child Support •Increase / Decrease of Maintenance / Child SupportYou can make an application to the court for an increase in child maintenance. If you succeed in proving to the court that there has been a substantial change in circumstances, and that your children’s needs have grown, relative to all the other factors , then it may accept your plea, at least in part. Where a court has looked at the question of maintenance fully, and given its judgment, it will only alter it, if there is a substantial change in circumstances.
