Legal Question in Family Law in California
what is the time frame in which a stipulation of child support be addressed by a
I have been ordered to pay child support to my ex-husband and it has had a stipulation made. His attorney has not made the changes to lower support for 4 monthes. beings that i don't have an attorney, is the attorney allowed to postpone changes when the ex-husband has not signed the stipulation order? My ex-husband states he will not sign it until I present a letter that is not related to the support stipulation. Please let me know what the law states as to how long they can sit on the new order. Thank You for your time.

Re: what is the time frame in which a stipulation of child support be addressed
This question does not make a lot of sense without knowing the stipulation and the facts. If the judge has made a child support order that order continues to accrue until it is modified and generally cannot be modified retroactively. It doesn't make a difference if there is a formal order. You need to talk to an attorney on this because it could cost you a lot of money not to get legal advice. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
