A: The child support amount is based
upon the information you provide to us prior to the
filing of the Summons and Complaint (i.e. health insurance
coverage costs, union dues, etc.), and the information
in the case. This includes the information we receive
from the Employment Development Department regarding
your work history and the amount of child support for
other children you may have for whom you pay child support
through our office. This information Is input into a
state designed and approved computer program Dissomaster
(copy is attached to the Proposed Judgement in your
packet) which indicates the income and deductions given
to arrive at the amount of child support.

A: As a result of September 11th ,
2001, legislation was passed allowing custodial and
non-custodial parents to request a review of their
current child support obligation and interest charged
on the unpaid balance if they were recently called
to active duty to fight the “War on Terrorism”.
If you believe your case is eligible for review, please
contact our Public Service Center at 916-875-7400 or
1-866-901-3212, or via our website inquiry section,
http://www.Childsup-connect.ca.gov, as soon as possible. At that
time we will review your case to determine if your
monthly child support will decrease as a result of
a drop in your income due to active service, or if
a modification to the interest charged on the unpaid
balance is appropriate. For a change in the child support
order or a lower interest rate on past due support,
you will need to submit a written request for review
as well as provide documentation of active duty status
and the date when active duty began. Please state your
reason for modification request as the “Soldiers’ and
Sailors’ Relief Act” to help us expedite
your request.
