If your case is handled by a state child support agency, request a review and modification. Normally, cases may be reviewed for modification or adjustment of the child support order every three years or upon a substantial change in circumstances. If your case is not handled by the child support agency, then talk with a private attorney. Each state has published "child support guidelines" which are used to calculate the amount of child support due based on parental income, custody and visitation and the best interests of the child. Normally, they are published on the state's child support website. You can look at the guidelines and see how they might affect your circumstances.

Child support in California can vary greatly and is entirely dependent on income levels of both parents. The minimum is $100 per month, but can reach very high numbers. For example, a parent earning $20,000 per month could end up paying $5000 or more per month in child support.
