NOTICE OF RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES 

Health-Care Costs and Reimbursement Procedures 

IF YOU HAVE A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER THAT INCLUDES A PROVISION FOR THE 

REIMBURSEMENT OF A PORTION OF THE CHILD'S OR CHILDREN'S HEALTH-CARE COSTS 

AND THOSE COSTS ARE NOT PAID BY INSURANCE, THE LAW SAYS: 

1. Notice. You must give the other parent an 

itemized statement of the charges that have 

been billed for any health-care costs not paid 

by insurance. You must give this statement to 

the other parent within a reasonable time, but 

no more than 30 days after those costs were 

given to you. 

2. Proof of full payment. If you have already 

paid all of the uninsured costs, you must 

(1) give the other parent proof that you paid 

them and (2) ask for reimbursement for the 

other parent's court-ordered share of those 

costs. 

3. Proof of partial payment. If you have paid 

only your share of the uninsured costs, you 

must (1) give the other parent proof that you 

paid your share, (2) ask that the other parent 

pay his or her share of the costs directly to the 

health-care provider, and (3) give the other 

parent the information necessary for that 

parent to be able to pay the bill. 

4. Payment by notified parent. If you receive 

notice from a parent that an uninsured 

health-care cost has been incurred, you must 

pay your share of that cost within the time the 

court orders; or if the court has not specified a 

period of time, you must make payment 

(1) within 30 days from the time you were 

given notice of the amount due, (2) according 

to any payment schedule set by the healthcare provider, (3) according to a schedule 

agreed to in writing by you and the other 

parent, or (4) according to a schedule adopted 

by the court. 

If you claim that the other party has failed to 

reimburse you for a payment, or the other party 

has failed to make a payment to the provider 

after proper notice has been given, you may file 

a motion in court to resolve the dispute. The 

court will presume that if uninsured costs have 

been paid, those costs were reasonable. The 

court may award attorney fees and costs 

against a party who has been unreasonable. 

6. Court-ordered insurance coverage. If a 

parent provides health-care insurance as 

ordered by the court, that insurance must be 

used at all times to the extent that it is 

available for health-care costs. 

a. Burden to prove. The party claiming 

that the coverage is inadequate to meet the 

child's needs has the burden of proving that 

to the court. 

b. Cost of additional coverage. If a parent 

purchases health-care insurance in addition 

to that ordered by the court, that parent must 

pay all the costs of the additional coverage. 

In addition, if a parent uses alternative 

coverage that costs more than the coverage 

provided by court order, that parent must pay 

the difference. 

7. Preferred health providers. If the 

court-ordered coverage designates a preferred 

health-care provider, that provider must be 

used at all times consistent with the terms of 

the health insurance policy. When any party 

uses a health-care provider other than the 

preferred provider, any health-care costs that 

would have been aid bv the referred health 

provider if that had been used must 

5. Disputed charges. If you dispute a charge, be the sole responsibility of the party incurring 

you may file a motion in court to resolve the those costs.

INFORMATION SHEET ON CHANGING A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER 

Genenl Information 

The courl has just made a child support order in your case. This order will remain the same unless a parly to the action requests that 

the support be changed (modified). An order for child support can be modified only by filing a motion to change child support and 

serving each parly involved in your case. If both parents and the local child support agency (if it is involved) agree on a new child 

support amount, you can complete, have all parties sign, and file with the court a Stipulation to Establish or Modify Child Suppod and 

Order (form FL-350) or Stipulation and Order (Govemmental) (form FL-625). 

When a Child Support Order May Be Modified 

The court takes several things into acwunt when ordering the payment of child support. First, the number of children is considered. 

Next, the net incomes of both parents are determined, along with the percentage of time each parent has physical wstody of the 

children. The court considers both parties' tax filing status and may consider hardships, such as a child of another relationship. An 

existing order for child support may be modified when the net income of one of the parents changes significantly, the parenting 

schedule changes significantly, or a new child is born. 

Examples 

You have been ordered to pay $500 per month in child support. You lose your job. You will continue to owe $500 per month, plus 

10 percent interest on any unpaid support, unless you file a motion to modify your child support to a lower amount and the court 

orders a reduction. 

You are currently receiving $300 per month in child support from the other parent, whose net income has just increased 

substantially. You will continue to receive $300 per month unless you file a motion to modify your child support toa higher amount 

and the court orders an increase, 

You are paying child suppcfl based upon having physical custody of your children 30 percent of the time. After several months it 

turns out that you actually have physical custody of the children 50 percent of the time. You may 61e a motion to modify child support 

to a lower amount. 

How to Change a Child Support Order 

To change a child support order, you must file papers with the court. Remember: You must follow the order you have now. 

What forms do I need? 

If you are asking to change a child support order open with the local child support agency, you must fill out one of these forms: 

FL-680. Notice of Motion (Governmental) or FL-683 Order to Show Cause (Govemmental) and 

FL-684, Request for Order and Supporting Declaration (Governmental) 

If you are asking to change a child support order that is not open with the local child support agency, you must fill out one of these 

forms: 

FL-301, Notice of Motion or FL-300. Orderto Show Cause and 

FL-310, Application for Order and Supporting Declaration or 

FL-390, Notice of Motion and Motion for Simplified Modification of Order for Child, Spousal, or Family Supporf 

You must also fill out one of these forms: 

FL-150, lncome and Expense Declaration or FL-155, Financial Statement (Simplified) 

What if I am not sure which forms to fill out? 

Talk to the family law facilitator at your court. 

After you fill out the forms, file them with the court clerk and ask for a hearing date. Write the hearing date on the form 

The clerk will ask you to pay a filing fee. If you cannot afford the fee, fill out these forms, too: 

Form 982(a)(17). AppNcation for Waiver of Court Fees and Costs 

Form 982(a)(18), Order on Application for Waiver of Court Fees and Costs 

You must serve the other parent If the local child support agency is involved, serve it too. 

This means someone 18 or over-not you--must serve the other parent copies of your filed court forms at least 16 court days before 

the hearing. Add 5 calendar days if you serve by mail within California (see Code of Civil Procedure section 1005for other situations). 

Court days are weekdays when the court is open for business (Monday through Friday excepl court holidays). Calendar days include 

all days of the month, including weekends and holidays. To determine court and calendar days, go to 

w.courtinfo.ca.gov/selr%elp/coudcalendars/. 

The server must also serve blank copies of these forms: 

FL-320, Responsive Declaration to Order to Show Cause or Notice of Motion and FL-150, lncome and Expense Declaration, or 

FL-155. Financial Statement (Simplified) 

Then the server fills out and signs a Pmof of Service (form FL-330 or FL-335). Take this form to the clerk and file it. 

Go to your hearing and ask the judge to change the support. Bring your tax returns from the last two years and your last two 

months' pay stubs. The judge will look at your information, listen to both parents, and make an order. After the hearing, fill out: 

FL-340, Findings and Order After Hearing and 

FL-342. Child Support Information and Order Aftachment
