Legal Question in Family Law in California

Can harships deductions change?

I currently pay $860 of childcare and chilsupport for one child. My ex had another child with another person and when we went to court she put a harship deduction of $910 for the child she has. She works and ears a gross of $1900 monthly. I earn a gross of $2721, she is now pregnant again and is blackmailing me telling me that she will put a higher harship once the other child is born,I am married with no other children.

desperetly and concerned

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client

Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client

deadlines and time-limits associated with your

case; you should contact an attorney of your

choice for legal advice specific to your personal

situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

web site at --

The site contains quite a bit of general

policies).

Now, in response to your message --

Child support can be modified whenever there is a

"change of circumstances." This can work to your

advantage or hers, depending on the specific facts.

If she is receiving child support from the other

fathers, she may not be qualified for the hardship

deduction. If she is not receiving support from

them, she should be.
