Under California law, if you have the custody of your minor child or children and the other co-parent has had an improvement in financial circumstances, you may be entitled to more child support from them. This also applies if you have ended up caring for your child for more time than was originally agreed upon. Our child support lawyers in Orange County can petition the courts to increase the amount of support you’re receiving.
This works both ways, however. If you are receiving child support but received a significant raise or have custody of your children for fewer days than anticipated, the other co-parent can file for a reduction in the support they’re paying.
