Reasons for a California Post Judgment Modification

Many situations may arise which call for a change in the divorce judgment. Among them is the loss of employment, change of employment, a significant loss or increase of income, the necessity for relocation of either parent, or a significant change in the cost of caring for a child either because of accident, injury, illness, or some other event. Other reasons may prompt a need for a modification, such as a child’s strong desire to reside with the non-custodial parent or a child not doing well under the care of the existing custodial parent.
