Legal Question in Family Law in California

The purpose of the income and expense form is to identify for the Court your expenses relative to your income with respect to supporting yourself and your child. The fact that the NCP is unemployed is interesting but not really a source of judicial sympathy. A modification may be allowed for a temporary period but the arrears are not likely to be forgiven. I would encourage you to challenge this request so that the court will have some practical reason for either denying the motion for modification or limiting the modification to a reasonable amount and for a limited period of time.
