Modifications to a Child Support Order 

Any modification to a court ordered child support agreement must be petitioned through the court, and failure to do so is a direct violation.  A typical situation that occurs is when the non-custodial parent is not afforded his right for visitation and he then holds back on his payment of child support.  But, as we have already seen, IMDMA §509 states that failure of one party to comply with the judgment does not suspend the obligation of the other party to make payments for child support or to permit visitation, as the case may be.
