Legal Question in Family Law in California
My ex started working full time about 3 months ago. My child support amount is based on imputed income to her determined by the court. My question is this: Isn't she supposed to notify me of her income once she becomes employed? And what are the repercussions of her delaying her notifying me? She has had many minor violations as they pertain to court orders which the court has never punished her for. And lastly, in order to request child support be recalculated is that something I need a lawyer to file, or is that something I could do on my own?

Your current court order controls the specifics of how you should deal with a change of income and other terms found in your court orders. The best remedy would be to meet with an experienced family law attorney in an office consultation and, in that setting, review your current orders and determine if support should be modified.
