The following excerpt is from Marriage of Aron, In re, 224 Cal.App.3d 1086, 274 Cal.Rptr. 357 (Cal. App. 1990):
Section 1690 does not, however, prohibit a court from deciding whether the obligee is entitled to receive support and if so, how much. (Ibach v. Ibach, supra, 600 P.2d at p. 1373.) The "how much" question of course goes to the modification request.
