Legal Question in Family Law in California

Overpayment

I have an child support order from 1998 that has two children being considered, I have been paying this same amount even though one of my children is 24 years old. I have recently realized that the amount I was paying should have been less but my attorney is no longer practicing and I do not have a copy of the disomaster used (the court has one filed) Will I be able to get a credit for future child support I have roughly three years left and my income has changed drastically.

However, some court have considered such overpayment to be a gift to the custodial parent. The answer also depends to some extent on the particular judge.
