Very pleased with the customer care I was new to using pdf filler and had a small technical issue with text auto deleting, so I hopped onto the chat where Sam helped fix the issue using screen share via a Zoom call, he kept me informed of what he was doing and the issue was resolved quickly. Sam also took the time to explain to me how to resolve the issue if I ever had it again and was friendly to communicate with, I am very pleased with the customer care, thank you Sam,

Questions & answers

Modification of Custody or Support Orders Child Custody/Visitation Orders may be modified whenever the court finds it “necessary and proper” in the child's best interests [Ca Fam § 3022]. Typically, a parent must show a “significant change of circumstances” to support this modification.
If you and the other parent agree to change the child support order, you may not have to go to court for a hearing. Even if you and the other parent agree on the change, you still have to ask for the court's approval. To do this, you need to file a paper asking the court to approve the agreed change in child support.
How Do I Request Modification? Making a request only requires you to submit one form: Form FL-300, the Request For Order. Once filed with a court, the process will begin in earnest. You may also file Form FL-311, Child Custody, and Visitation, though this is optional.
Summons (Uniform Parentage—Petition for Custody and Support) (incl. Spanish) (FL-210) Tells the other parent of the child that a court case has started and what will happen if the other parent's response is not filed in 30 days. Get form FL-210.
If both parties agree to a change in support, they must complete and file a proposed Uniform Support Order (USO). The USO must be submitted to the court with up-to-date completed and signed Financial Affidavits for both parties, as well as a Child Support Guideline Worksheet and Personal Data Sheet.
The only possible way to avoid a mandatory custody modification hearing in California is if both parents agree on the proposed changes and write a new parenting plan to reflect those changes. In these cases, the court will generally order both parents to attend mediation to formally officialize the new parenting plan.
