People seek modifications to make sure that their child support and child custody arrangements reflect their changed life circumstances. The Law Office of Joan L. Collier regularly represents people seeking to modify or enforce a divorce decree.
Call 805-981-3909 to learn how a modification can affect you.
What Is a Change of Circumstances?
Some things that may count as a change of circumstance under California law, include:
- A job promotion that substantially increases the net income of a parent can result in a child support change
- A job loss or decrease in salary that reduces the net income of one of the parents, in particular the non-custodial parent, can result in a child support change
- A relocation or move away in which one parent is moving to another county or state and the change necessitates a custody arrangement modification
- A change in the child's needs due to physical illness, mental illness or other serious issues can justify a support modification
- A home environment where there are drugs, violence, abuse or negligence can result in a change of custody or even a guardianship situation

Modification - Child Support and Custody
Ventura Modification Lawyer
When a divorce judgment is issued, it is considered final. However, a judgment cannot predict the future. When a substantial change occurs that affects a child support or child custody arrangement, the law may permit a party to seek modification of the original divorce decree or other court order. This is called a modification.
