Legal Question in Family Law in California

Make a motion. You can either retain an attorney or you can get help from the family court facilitator at the Superior Court.

Presuming you are already involved in some type of family law matter (i.e. a dissolution, paternity matter, etc.), you may be able to file what is called a Request for Order. This is a motion before the family court that requests that said court make new orders, or modify existing orders, regarding such issues as custody, visitation, child support and others.

Please be advised that the court will grant or deny a request to establish or modify an order based on evidence that you present to the court. This evidence can be in the form of testimony, sworn fact declarations, or other documents, etc. that will serve to convince the court of your (as the moving party) position. It's important for you to know that the court has rules with regard to what evidence it will allow and how it will allow to be presented at the time of the motion hearing.

Knowing the procedure on how to file said Request for Order and how to handle the motion hearing is very important in setting up your motion for greater success before the court. A competent, experienced attorney in the area of family law can orient you in this regard.
