Family Law 101_008: I want to increase the agreed child support after divorce. Is it possible?

Answer: Yes!

What have been agreed upon divorce does not last forever. Things change and you can make changes to the agreement, especially for the benefit of children.

You can negotiate to switch the custodian and get child support expense from your spouse - a parent who is not raising the child after divorce has a duty to pay expense to raise a child to a parent who is raising the child. Or if your spouse does not cooperate, you can file a lawsuit to be designated as a new custodian for your children.
Once the parental right holder has been changed by the court, you should submit “change of parental right holder” city, gu, eup, myeon office. 

In a related note, you can change the determined child support if the circumstances has been changed.
