Legal Question in Family Law in California

I am currently receiving child support. How do I modify and request for an increase? I am now employed but during the time of the trial I was unemployed. Will there be another court trial? The father has a much higher income and my day care expense has increased and my son is in extra curricular activities. How often is the salary reviewed on both parents to determine the child support amount? I live in CA and the father in Oklahoma. Cost of living is much higher in CA.

There is no revolving schedule to review child support payments. It is up to the parties themselves to file the appropriate motions and requests for orders to modify support either upward or downward. I suggest you speak to a family law attorney near you, as the fact that you make money now may actually reduce your available support payment.
