What is a Case Management Order and how does that work?

Full question:

I filed a "motion to modify" the child support that I receive from my ex-husband in the amount of double of what it was in the divorce decree. I did this on Sept. 4th. I was under the impression that he only had 15 days to do so. He filed his response on Sept. 27th and never served me with the copy of the Certificate of Service. a) Was it illegal for him to file a response and not provide me with a copy? and b) Why is the court allowing his response if it's turned in after the 15 days? (isn't it considered null and void?) I called the Office of the Combined Courts this morning and was informed that the judge ordered a Case Management Order. c) What is a Case Management Order and how does that work?

FAQs

In general, you can modify child support as many times as necessary, provided there is a significant change in circumstances. This could include changes in income, employment status, or the needs of the child. However, each modification must be approved by the court, and you must file a motion for each request.
