Modification Request

All child support cases are required to be administered under Ohio law by the local CSEAs. However, unless a case is designated as a "IV-D case," the case is considered to be a "non-IV-D case" and is ineligible for certain child support services, including administrative review and adjustment of child support orders. A "IV-D case" is a case in which a person files an application for child support services with the local CSEA or when the children are receiving public assistance such as Ohio Works First, Medicaid, or Foster Care Maintenance.

If you have a "non-IV-D case" and you want an administrative review and adjustment, you must submit to the CSEA a signed application for services to receive an administrative review for adjustment. You must accept all services available and be subject to all enforcement remedies of the child support enforcement program. If you do not cooperate with the CSEA in providing all the necessary information to enforce the order, the IV-D case shall be closed for failure to cooperate and no IV-D services shall be provided to you. Once the IV-D application has been filed with the CSEA and it is accepted, the case becomes a IV-D case.

Within 15 days of receiving your request for an administrative review and adjustment and any required evidence, the CSEA will review your request and determine whether a review should be conducted.

If your request is approved, both parents to the order and any third-party caretakers will be notified of the date of the administrative review. The notice will be mailed to the last known address of all parties. The notification will also request that the parents provide financial information, including but not limited to completing a financial affidavit, medical support information, and any other information necessary to properly review the child support order.

If your request is denied, the CSEA will send you notice of denial.

Requesting an administrative review may result in the monthly child support, cash medical support and arrearages repayment order increasing, decreasing, or remaining the same or in a change in the medical support provisions. Please be aware that you may not withdraw your request for an administrative review on or after the scheduled review date.
