‘Changed Circumstances’ For Child Custody In California

In California, child support modifications can be made if the party requesting the change can show a “change in circumstances.” If you anticipate any changes that would impact your current arrangement, you will need to notify the court in order to make the proper modifications.

Examples of “changes in circumstances” that would call for a modification include:

  • A change in income
  • The incarceration of one parent
  • If one parent lost his/her job
  • The child’s needs have changed
