Legal Question in Family Law in California
Child Care cost
When I was awarded $415 of child support a year ago I wasn�t aware that I could ask for � of childcare cost. From what I understand I could modify the child support order by filing an OSC to ask for 1/2 of child care cost. Is that correct? And are there any other forms?
At this time my 2 year old is attending a daycare that is less expensive because I attend school. � of childcare would be $130. In a month I will complete my class and my 2 yr old will have to attend another daycare where half would be $224. When the childcare cost amount changes do I file another OSC modification to show the new amount?

Re: Child Care cost
The payment of child care order can be either for a fixed sum, or for 1/2 of the actual cost. The court order for a fixed amount requires a new order each time that child care costs change. An order for 1/2 the cost requires you to notify him of the costs and collect from him. The order for fixed amount can be collected by way of wage assignment. A writtne agreement setting child support that is made an order by the court can be obtained if both parties are willing to sign the stipulation.
