To modify an existing order in Irvine, CA, related to child custody cases, property division, or spousal or child support, you first must try to reach an agreement with the other parent about the changes you want to make. If you can agree, you can write up a new parenting plan and submit it to the court for approval.
However, if you can’t reach an agreement, you need to file a Request for Order (RFO) with the court. This is a motion that asks the judge to change your order based on new facts or circumstances. Then, you’ll need to serve the paper on the other parent and file your proof of service with the court. The judge will listen to both sides and make a decision based on the best interests of the child. If they grant your request, you will get a new order that replaces your old one.
