Child support can be modified at any time based upon valid, substantial, permanent, and unanticipated changes in financial circumstances.
You may file your own modification pursuant to California Family Code Section 3651. Forms may be obtained from the Self-Help Center and click Simplified modification of support order. If you need assistance in filing your own modification, please contact the Family Law Facilitator.
The California child support statutes commonly allow a modification petition to be filed every three years or if there has been “a substantial change in circumstances” since the original order was decreed. Usually, the most common reason for a change in your child support is a change in income for either parent.
