What is Post-Judgment Modification in California?
In California, post-judgment modifications in divorce matters refer to changes or modifications made to the terms of a divorce judgment or court order after it has been finalized. These modifications can be requested by either party involved in the divorce if they can demonstrate a significant change in circumstances that justifies a modification.
To successfully request a post-judgment modification, the party seeking the change must show a material change in circumstances. This means there has been a significant and ongoing change in the circumstances of one or both parties since the divorce judgment was issued. Examples of material changes can include a job loss, a substantial increase or decrease in income, relocation, or a change in the needs of the child.
Modifying Child Custody and Visitation
When seeking a modification of child custody or visitation arrangements, the requesting party must demonstrate that the proposed change is in the best interests of the child. The court will consider factors such as the child's age, health, education, and the ability of each parent to meet the child's needs.
Modifying Child Support
Child support can be modified if there has been a significant change in the income of either parent or if there has been a substantial change in the needs of the child. The court will typically use the state's child support guidelines to determine the appropriate modification.
Modifying Spousal Support
Spousal support, or alimony, can be modified if there has been a material change in the circumstances of either party, such as a change in income, unemployment, retirement, or cohabitation. The court will consider factors such as the length of the marriage, the supported spouse's needs, and the supporting spouse's ability to pay.
