If your ex is receiving public assistance, your case will be automatically reviewed every three years. You
do not need to request the review and neither does your ex. The Child Support Enforcement Agency will
automatically initiate the process once the 3 year period has expired. If you are nearing an automatic
review, you can begin to implement some of the strategies for lowering your income and protecting your
assets previously covered in this book. Make sure you go to the review prepared and provide all the
necessary documentation. Even if your child support order is not reduced, you can play an active role in
preventing it from being increased during the automatic review process.
