The Supreme Court of Finland allowed the application to modify child support payments due to significant changes in the obligor's financial situation. The applicant presented new evidence demonstrating a substantial increase in income, which the lower court had previously overlooked. The court ruled that the statutory requirement for a material change in circumstances was met, necessitating a recalculation of the support amount.
