The Veteran's child support payments were increased from $100 per month to $225 per month effective January 1, 2020. The increase was granted due to the Veteran's consistent payment of child support and the appellant's acknowledgment that he had been paying consistently for a couple of years.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was found to be reasonably discharging his responsibilities in providing child support after being ordered by a state court, and the amount of $225 per month was deemed appropriate based on the financial situation of both parties and the need to address arrears.
