When Can a Court Order Be Modified?

California courts can modify family law orders when there has been a "substantial change in circumstances" since the original order was issued. What counts as substantial depends on the type of order and the specific facts involved.

Common Reasons for Modification

• Significant change in income (job loss, promotion, disability)
• Relocation of a parent
• Change in the child's needs or school situation
• Remarriage or new cohabiting partner
• Health changes for a parent or child
• A parent's failure to follow the existing order
• The child's own changing preferences (as they age)

Orders We Can Help Modify

• Child custody and visitation schedules
• Child support amounts
• Spousal support (alimony)
• Parenting plans

• License suspension for chronic non-payment
• Make-up visitation for denied parenting time
