Notice. You must give the other parent an itemized statement of the charges that have been billed for any health-care costs not paid by insurance. You must give this statement to the other parent within a reasonable time, but no more than 30 days after those costs were given to you. 2. Proof of full payment. If you have already paid all of the uninsured costs, you must (1) give the other parent proof that you paid them and (2) ask for reimbursement for the other parent’s court-ordered share of those costs. 3. Proof of partial payment. If you have paid only your share of the uninsured costs, you must (1) give the other parent proof that you have paid your share, (2) ask that the other parent pay his or her share of the costs directly to the health-care provider, and (3) give the other parent the information necessary for that parent to be able to pay the bill. 4. Payment by notified parent. If you receive notice from a parent that an uninsured health-care cost has been incurred, you must pay your share of that cost within the time the court orders; or if the court has not specified a period of time, you must make payment either (1) within 30 days from the time you were given notice of the amount due, (2) according to any payment schedule set by the health-care provider, (3) according to a schedule agreed to in writing by you and the other parent, or (4) according to a schedule adopted by the court. 5. Disputed charges. If you dispute a charge, you may file a motion in court to resolve the dispute, but only if you pay that charge before filing your motion. If you claim that the other party has failed to Revised July 1, 2008 reimburse you for a payment, or the other party has failed to make a payment to the provider after proper notice has been given, you may file a motion in court to resolve the dispute. The court will presume that if uninsured costs have been paid, those costs were reasonable. The court may award attorney fees and costs against a party who has been unreasonable. 6. Court-ordered insurance coverage. If a parent provides health-care insurance as ordered by the court, that insurance must be used at all times to the extent that it is available for health-care costs. a. Burden to prove. The party claiming that the coverage is inadequate to meet the child’s needs has the burden of proving that to the court. b. Cost of additional coverage. If a parent purchases health-care insurance in addition to that ordered by the court, that parent must pay all the costs of the additional coverage. In addition, if a parent uses alternative coverage that costs more than the coverage provided by court order, that parent must pay the difference. 7. Preferred health-care providers. If the courtordered coverage designates a preferred health-care provider, that provider must be used at all times, consistent with the terms of the health insurance policy. When any party uses a health-care provider other than the preferred provider, any health-care costs that would have been paid by the preferred health-care provider if that provider had been used will be the sole responsibility of the party incurring those costs.

The court has just made a child support order in your case. This order will remain the same unless a party to the action requests that the support be changed (modified). An order for child support can be modified only by filing a motion to change child support and serving each party involved in your case. If both parents and the local child support agency (if it is involved) agree on a new child support amount, you can complete, have all parties sign, and file with the court a Stipulation to Establish or Modify Child Support and Order (form FL-350) or Stipulation and Order (Governmental) (form FL-625). When a child support order may be modified. The court takes several things into account when ordering the payment of child support. First, the number of children is considered. Next, the net incomes of both parents are determined, along with the percentage of time each parent has physical custody of the children. The court considers both parties’ tax filing status and may consider hardships, such as a child of another relationship. An existing order for child support may be modified when the net income of one of the parents changes significantly, the parenting schedule changes significantly, or a new child is born. If you are asking the court to change a child support order that is not open with the local child support agency, you must fill out one of these forms: • FL-301, Notice of Motion or FL-300, Order to Show Cause and • FL-310, Application for Order and Supporting Declaration or • FL-390, Notice of Motion and Motion for Simplified Modification of Order for Child, Spousal, or Family Support You must also fill out one of these forms: • FL-150, Income and Expense Declaration or FL-155, Financial Statement (Simplified) What if I am not sure which forms to fill out? Talk to the family law facilitator at your court. After you fill out the forms, file them with the court clerk and ask for a hearing date. Write the hearing date on the form. The clerk will ask you to pay a filing fee. If you cannot afford the fee, fill out these forms too: • Form FW-001, Application for Waiver of Court Fees and Costs • Form FW-003, Order on Application for Waiver of Court Fees and costs Examples • You have been ordered to pay $500 per month in child support. You lose your job. You will continue to owe $500 per month, plus 10 percent interest on any unpaid support, unless you file a motion to modify your child support to a lower amount and the court orders a reduction. • You are currently receiving $300 per month in child support from the other parent, whose net income has just increased substantially. You will continue to receive $300 per month unless you file a motion to modify your child support to a higher amount and the court orders an increase. • You are paying child support based upon having physical custody of your children 30 percent of the time. After several months it turns out that you actually have physical custody of the children 50 percent of the time. You may file a motion to modify child support to a lower amount. How to Change a Child Support Order To change a child support order, you must file papers with the court. Remember: You must follow the order you have now. You must serve the other parent. If the local child support agency is involved, serve it too. This means someone 18 or over—not you—must serve the other parent copies of your filed court forms at least 16 court days before the hearing. Add 5 calendar days if you serve by mail within California (see Code of Civil Procedure section 1005 for other situations). Court days are weekdays when the court is open for business (Monday through Friday except court holidays). Calendar days include all days of the month, including weekends and holidays. To determine court and calendar days, go to www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/courtcalendars/. The server must also serve blank copies of these forms: • FL-320, Responsive Declaration to Order to Show Cause or Notice of Motion and FL-150, Income and Expense Declaration, or • FL-155, Financial Statement (Simplified) Then the server fills out and signs a Proof of Service (form FL-330 or FL-335). Take this form to the clerk and file it. Go to your hearing and ask the judge to change the support. Bring your tax returns from the last two years and your last two months’ pay stubs. The judge will look at your information, listen to both parents, and make an order. After the hearing, fill out: • FL-340, Findings and Order After Hearing and • FL-342, Child Support Information and Order Attachment What forms do I need? If you are asking the court to change a child support order open with the local child support agency, you must fill out one of these forms: Need help? • FL-680, Notice of Motion (Governmental) or FL-683 Order to Show Contact the family law facilitator in your county or call your county's bar Cause (Governmental) and association and ask for an experienced family lawyer. • FL-684, Request for Order and Supporting Declaration (Governmental) Revised July 1, 2008 Information Sheet on Changing a Child Support Order DV-160, Page 7 of 8 DV-160 Información sobre cómo cambiar una orden judicial sobre manutención de menores Información general El tribunal acaba de dar una orden judicial sobre manutención de menores en esta causa. Esta orden permanecerá en efecto, a menos que alguna de las partes de la causa pida que se modifique. Sólo se puede modificar una orden de manutención de menores si se presenta ante el tribunal una moción (o pedimento) de modificación de manutención y si se da una copia de dicha moción a las partes interesadas en la causa. Si ambos padres llegan a un común acuerdo sobre una suma y si la agencia local que vigila la manutención de menores también acepta el acuerdo (si dicha agencia participa), se puede llenar y hacer que cada una de las partes firme una Estipulación para Establecer o Modificar una Orden de Manutención de Menores (formulario FL-350) o llenar y hacer que cada una de la partes firme una Estipulación y Orden (Documento gubernamental) (formulario FL-625). ¿Cuándo se puede modificar una orden de manutención de menores? El juez toma varios factores en consideración cuando emite una orden judicial sobre el pago de manutención de menores. Primero, considera, el número de hijos. Luego, determina los ingresos de ambos padres y el porcentaje del tiempo que cada padre asume la custodia fisica de los hijos. El tribunal estudia el estado tributario (pago de impuestos) de ambas partes y puede tener en cuenta factores de dificultad económica, tales como la existencia de hijos de otra relación. Se puede modificar la orden de manutención de menores si ocurre un cambio considerable en los ingresos netos de uno de los padres, un cambio considerable en el tiempo que los menores pasan con cada uno de los padres, o cuando nace un nuevo hijo. Ejemplos: Si a usted se le ha ordenado pagar $500 mensuales de manutención de menores y luego pierde su empleo, continuará debiendo $500 mensuales. Además usted deberá el 10% de intereses de la suma de manutención adeudada, a menos que presente una moción pidiendo que se modifique y se reduzca la suma de manutención y que el tribunal ordene dicha reducción. Si usted está recibiendo $300 mensuales por manutención de menores provenientes del otro padre y los ingresos de ese padre aumentan considerablemente, usted continuará recibiendo $300 mensuales, a menos que usted presente una moción para modificar la orden y que el tribunal ordene el aumento de la suma de manutención de menores. Si paga manutención de menores basándose en que pasa un 30% de tiempo asumiendo la custodia parcial de sus hijos y después de varios meses, resulta que en efecto pasa el 50% del tiempo a cargo de la custodia fisica de sus hijos, en dado caso, podrá presentar una moción pidiendo que se reduzca la suma de manutención. Cómo modificar una orden existente de manutención de hijos menores Para modificar una orden de manutención de hijos menores usted debe presentar documentos ante el tribunal. Recuerde: Usted tiene la obligación de cumplir la orden judicial existente. ¿Qué formularios necesita? Si está pidiendo que el tribunal modifique una orden de manutención cuyo caso está abierto en la agencia local que vigila la manutención de menores, deberá llenar los siguientes formularios: • FL-680 Aviso de petición (Gubernamental) o FL-683 Orden de motivos justificativos (Gubernamental) y • FL-684 Solicitud de orden y declaración de respaldo Revised July 1, 2008 Si está pidiendo que el tribunal modifique una orden de manutención cuyo caso no está abierto en la agencia local que vigila la manutención de menores, deberá llenar los siguientes formularios: • FL-301 Aviso de petición o FL-300 Orden de motivos justificativos y • FL-310 Solicitud para una orden y declaración de respaldo (Derecho de familia -Paternidad uniforme) o • FL-390 Aviso de petición y petición simplificada de modificación de orden de manutención de hijos menores, de cónyuge o de familia También deberá llenar uno de los siguientes formularios: • FL-150 Declaración de ingresos y gastos o FL-155 Declaración sobre finanzas (Simplificada) ¿Qué puedo hacer si no sé qué formulario llenar? Hable con el asesor legal del tribunal de familia. Después de llenar los formularios, radíquelos en el tribunal y pida una audiencia ante el tribunal. Escriba la fecha de su audiencia en su formulario. En la secretaría le pedirán que pague la cuota de radicación. Si no tiene los medios para pagar la cuota, llene también los siguientes formularios: • Formulario 982(a)(17) Solicitud de exención de cuotas y costos judiciales • Formulario 982(a)(18) Orden de exoneración de cuotas y costos judiciales Usted tiene que hacer la "entrega legal" de los formularios de modificación al otro padre. Si la agencia local que vigila la manutención de hijos menores participa en la causa, entregue también los documentos a esa agencia. Esto significa que una persona de no menos de 18 años (y que no sea usted mismo) debe entregar copias de los formularios por lo menos 16 días hábiles del tribunal antes de la audiencia. Se deben añadir 5 días calendarios más si la entrega se hace por correo postal dentro de California (véase Código Civil de Procedimientos, sección 1005 para ver otras situaciones). Los días hábiles del tribunal son los días cuando el tribunal está funcionando, de lunes a viernes, exceptuando los días feriados. Los días calendarios son todos los días de la semana, incluyendo los fines de semana y los días feriados. Para obtener mayor información, visite: www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/courtcalendars La persona que haga entrega de la copia de los documentos deberá entregar copias de los siguientes formularios: • FL-320 Declaración de respuesta y FL-150 Declaración de ingresos y gastos, o • FL-155 Declaración de finanzas (Simplificada) La persona que hace la entrega entonces llena y firma el comprobante de entrega (formularios FL-330 o FL-335). Luego, usted lleva este documento a la secretaría del tribunal para radicarlo. Vaya a su audiencia ante el tribunal y pida al juez que modifique la manutención. Lleve consigo sus formularios más recientes de declaración de impuestos federales de los últimos dos años y sus talones de pago de los últimos dos meses. El juez estudiará la información presentada, escuchará a ambos padres y emitirá una orden. Después de la audiencia usted debe llenar los formularios: • FL-340 Conclusiones y orden después de la audiencia y • FL-342 Documento adjunto con información sobre manutención de menores y orden judicial. ¿Necesita ayuda? Consulte con el Asesor Legal del Tribunal de Familia de su condado o llame al colegio de abogados de su condado y pida un abogado con experiencia en el tribunal de familia.
