Child support in Rhode Island is determined by formulas in the statutes. Determining the proper level of child support requires more than putting numbers into a spreadsheet however. Over time, situations can change necessitating modifications in the child support level, either up or down. Complications can arise when a parent is self-employed or has chosen to work in a job below his or her earning potential.

- Determination of the child support level

Modifications in Child Support
When a significant change in circumstances occurs, it is possible to go to court seeking a modification in a child support order. An event such as a layoff, a promotion or the onset of disability may provide sufficient grounds for a modification.
