Ive been laid off or terminated from my job. How can I afford to pay the court ordered child support?
1.) If the other party agrees to a reduction in child support, you can request and complete form FA-604, A Stipulation And Order To Amend Judgment, submit it to the Child Support Agency and upon approval of the Child Support Director and the Court Commissioner, it will become an order modifying your judgment. There is no filing fee for this action. 2.) If the other party does not agree and when there is a substantial change in circumstances, you may request a change in child support. That can be achieved by completing the Order To Show Cause To Revise A Judgment. The form is available in the Family Court Commissioner Office or the Clerk of Court Office. The filing fee is $30.00 plus process service fees. After completing the form and returning it to the Family Court Commissioner, a hearing date will be assigned, the court will take testimony at the hearing and make a decision regarding the request.
