Post-Judgment Modifications

Orange County, California Child Custody and Support Modification Attorney Kevin B. Gibbs

If circumstances have changed since your divorce judgment, you can file a court action to modify the divorce decree. Both child support and child custody can be modified. The portions of a judgment governing the property settlement cannot be modified, unless your attorney can prove that a party hid assets.

For a court to modify an existing child custody or child support order, the court must find that there has been a change of circumstances since the last order was made. The following chart provides examples:

Change in Circumstance

Modification

If the parent paying child support loses a job or is forced to take a lower-paying job

Reduce child support

If the parent paying child support receives a higher paying job

Increase child support

If a parent with shared custody moves of the area

Change child custody

If the spouse has a chemical or alcohol dependency problem

Change child custody

If parent with shared custody changes work schedule

Change child custody

If a child is experiencing problems at home or school

Change child custody
