There is no standard format for a Motion for Revision nor is there a form. It wold be best to hire an attorney if you are contemplating such action

If the child support order has been in place for longer and there is a substantial change of circumstances, you may instead be seeking a modification of the child support order. If that is the case, you need to file for Modification for child support and the corresponding paperwork with it. You can find the forms you need by looking up Washington state court forms on the internet. Good luck.
