MOTHER’S PETITION FOR AN UPWARD MODIFICATION OF FATHER’S CHILD SUPPORT BASED UPON A CHANGE IN FATHER’S EMPLOYMENT STATUS WAS PROPERLY GRANTED, BUT THE MODIFICATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE RETROACTIVE TO THE DATE OF EMPLOYMENT, NOT THE DATE OF THE PETITION (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, reversing Family Court, determined mother’s petition for an upward modification of father’s support obligation should have been granted in its entirety, i.e., retroactive to the date of the change in father’s employment status, not to the date of the petition:

The court erroneously concluded that the modification of child support could only be retroactive to the date petitioner filed the petition. Because it is undisputed that the father did not notify the Support Collection Unit of his change in employment status as required by the prior support order, the court had the authority to modify the child support payments retroactive to the date of his employment … . Matter of Oneida County Dept. of Social Servs. v Abu-Zamaq, 2019 NY Slip Op 08341, Fourth Dept 11-15-19
