Important Notice about Access to Your Case
Due to the court closure and significant reduction in services, the court is
unable to provide court orders, minute orders, and child custody mediation
reports in person or by mail; they are only available online using our Public
Case Access System. The court is also unable to provide you with access
to your court file.
Access to court orders and minute orders is the only way to obtain
instructions on how to appear for hearings and trials, and to know what the
court ordered in your case. Access to child custody mediation reports is
necessary so that you know what child custody, visitation, or other
requirements that the mediator recommended to the court.
To get secure access to your case online, you must complete and submit to
the court the attached Family Law Case Participant Enrollment Form -
Party, along with a copy of your driver’s license to get an account to our
Public Case Access System. A separate form must be filed for each case
or when you change your email address.
Once you complete the form, you must submit it in person at the courthouse
(Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) using the Drop Box, or by
US Mail at 3341 Power Inn Road, Sacramento, CA 95826.
Submitting the form immediately is important because it takes:
Three working days for the court to process it if filed by Drop Box
Seven working days for the court to process it after mailing using
US Mail
Once your access is set up you will receive an email letting you know that
you are subscribed to your case. If you do not receive an email notifying
you that you are subscribed to your case during the timeframes identified
above, please inform the court using our Contact Us page at:

NOTICE OF RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Health-Care Costs and Reimbursement Procedures
IF YOU HAVE A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER THAT INCLUDES A PROVISION FOR THE
REIMBURSEMENT OF A PORTION OF THE CHILD'S OR CHILDREN'S HEALTH-CARE COSTS
AND THOSE COSTS ARE NOT PAID BY INSURANCE, THE LAW SAYS:
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 (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.
Preferred health providers.
If the court-ordered 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
provider if that provider had been used must be the sole
responsibility of the party incurring those costs.
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 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.

INFORMATION SHEET ON CHANGING A CHILD SUPPORT ORDER
General Information
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.
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.
What forms do I need?
If you are asking to change a child support order open with the local child support agency, you must fill out one of these forms:
FL-680,
Notice of Motion (Governmental)
or
FL-683
Order to Show Cause (Governmental)
and
FL-684,
Request for Order and Supporting Declaration (Governmental)
If you are asking 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-300,
Request for Order
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,
Request to Waive Court Fees
Form FW-003,
Order on Court Fee Waiver (Superior Court)
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 find court holidays, go to
www.courts.ca.gov/holidays.htm.
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
Need help?
Contact the family law facilitator in your county or call your county's bar association and ask for an experienced family lawyer.
The server must also serve blank copies of these forms:
FL-320,
Responsive Declaration to Request for Order
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.
