A:
Yes, you can seek to reopen your child support case now that the other parent is in California. Since the previous closure was based on incorrect information about his location, presenting accurate details can help your case.
Start by gathering any evidence that shows the other parent resides in California. This might include utility bills, lease agreements, or other official documents. With this information, you can file a motion with the family court to have the case reopened.
It may also be beneficial to consult with a family law attorney who can guide you through the process and ensure all necessary steps are properly followed. Reopening the case can help ensure that child support arrangements are correctly enforced and adjusted as needed.
