The FRO enforces but cannot modify support orders – court approval is required for changes
The Family Responsibility Office (FRO) is strictly an enforcement agency and cannot make changes to existing support orders. When circumstances change that affect support payments, you must follow the proper legal channels for modifications:
- File a motion to change with the appropriate court
- Obtain court approval for the proposed modifications
- Register the updated court order with the FRO for enforcement
Professional assistance is available through divorce mediators or certified divorce financial analysts who can guide you through the modification process and ensure proper documentation with both the court and the FRO.
