Modification of California Family Court Orders
How Can I Modify A Family Court Order?
After the court has ordered child support, visitation rights, spousal support in a divorce or other family law case, following that order is not optional. Any party that fails to adhere to the ordered payments can face legal repercussions for being in contempt of court.
However, life changes, and family court orders should change with it. If you have undergone a substantial change in circumstances, and you qualify, you can petition the court for a modification of child support, child custody, spousal support, and more.
