Legal Question in Family Law in California

The final judgemnt was already made in 2009. If the judgment concluded child support and spousal support for 2006 already, I guess that the case for child support not requested or overpaid cannot be reopended. Is my understanding correct? According to the previous answer to my question, I think spousal support (not requested for legal separation period) cannot be awarded if it was not requested and if the final judgement is concluded. Is the child support applied to the same rule?

Following was my initial question.

I wonder whether I could request Spousal Support and Child Support not calculated (not filed) in 2006 during legal separation period (6 months). Is it too late to request (file) it now?

Although you can request the court to award you child support for time prior to the judgment; it is highly unlikely that it would do so. Since child support was addressed in the judgment, the court is likely to find that the issue of past child support was already adjudicated.
