Standard for Upward Child Support Modification, Agreement Incorporated But Not Merged.

This case, which was not affected by the 2010 amendment to Family Court Act section 451(2)(a), includes a clear discussion of the criteria for an upward modification of a child support obligation where a party is seeking to modify “a child support provision derived from an agreement or stipulation incorporated but not merged into a divorce decree…”.  The party seeking modification “has the burden of proving that the agreement was unfair or inequitable when entered into or that an unanticipated and unreasonable change of circumstances has occurred resulting in a concomitant increased need or that the needs of the child are not being adequately met…”.  Matter of Overbaugh vs Schettini, 515079 Third Dept. 2-14-13
