Legal Question in Family Law in California
Child Support Hearing Question
Hello,
I�m a father of one child; I was never
married to my child�s mother. I
currently have a court ordered
visitation with my child every week
for a total of seventy-two hours /
three nights. My employment
changed and I�m making less money
so I filed with the child support
people to have my case reviewed in
court. The court documents states
that I do not need to attend the
court hearing. This hearing is a two-
hour drive for me and during my
weekly visitation with my son. I�m
looking for some feedback.
The child support that I give to my
child�s mother is based on the State
of California child support calculation.
I agree with the new amount and
have signed all the required court
documents.
My question is:
Is it possible for the child support
judge to change the new amount
(monthly child support) that was
noted on the court document if my
child�s mother attends this hearing
and claims she needs more money to
care for our son?
Thank you very much for your time!!

Re: Child Support Hearing Question
If the calculation of the child support was pursuant to the child support computer program it should not change. Contact the department of child support services and request to appear by telephone. The court should call you at the telephone number at which you can be called. The general rule is that the call cannot be to a cell phone.
