Legal Question in Family Law in California

Modification of support

I'm going to court on the 23rd to reduce my support I recently changed jobs and I earn half as much as before.At the first hearing I was not present and my ex reported my income falsely resulting in a HUGE payment. My case is currently with Department of Child Support Services and they garnish my wages. I was asked to fill out a interrogatory questionaire asking about Current income , Other Income and Tax returns. Should I continue with this case or let DCSS handle it?

Re: Modification of support

You should continue with the hearing on May 23. Notify the court that DCSS is handling your case. The court will probably send your case to the commissioner to be heard with the DCSS case. Try to avoid having the motion dismissed. As there are some restrictions on the court modifying support. Also inform the court about your reason for not being at the previous hearing and the exaggeration of your income. Also be prepared to explain why you took a job with lower pay.
