Effective Jan 1, 1997Added by Stats. 1996, Ch. 957, Sec. 5. Effective January 1, 1997.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:
- (1) There is currently no simple method available to parents to quickly modify their support orders when circumstances warrant a change in the amount of support.
- (2) The lack of a simple method for parents to use to modify support orders has led to orders in which the amount of support ordered is inappropriate based on the parents’ financial circumstances.
- (3) Parents should not have to incur significant costs or experience significant delays in obtaining an appropriate support order.
- (b) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that the Judicial Council adopt rules of court and forms for a simplified method to modify support orders. This simplified method should be designed to be used by parents who are not represented by counsel.
