California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Stupp v. Schilders (In re Stupp), A144007 (Cal. App. 2017):
We review the family court's decision whether to modify a child support order for abuse of discretion. (Edwards v. Edwards (2008) 162 Cal.App.4th 136, 141.) As the party seeking modification of a stipulated child support order, Schilders must show a material change of circumstances from the previous order or that the previous order was for an amount below guideline. (In re Marriage of Laudeman (2001) 92 Cal.App.4th 1009, 1015.) Schilders showed neither, and therefore she cannot show that the trial court abused its discretion in denying her request for modification.
