[CA] How do I revise childcare costs before a child support hearing?
I already have a hearing date set with the court for child support. I have had a change in circumstances for childcare costs.
Should I refile and request another hearing?

Ok. I would say you should be ok to just amend your documents/claim if the hearing is that far out. I do not see why you would need to cancel and reset the hearing here if it is that far out.
I cannot see any prejudice the other side could argue here of being informed of that now if you get that amendment filed, and they still have plenty of time to prepare for the hearing with that difference in the number. That is still 45 or so days away; that should be ample time with plenty of notice to the other side.

I understand your situation. Have you already informed the other party involved about the change in child care costs?
No
Lexi, Chatbot
How significant is the change in child care costs, and how does it impact the current child support arrangement?
It's $780 of a difference.

Is there anything else the family lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your child care cost change.
No

A $780 difference over what period of time? Or is that a one-time cost?
One month period of time. The child care cost is $780/month
Or $195/week

And when is the hearing set for?

What forms would I need to file to do that?
Jon
What state are you filing this in?
Jon
It should simply be what you filed, with the title of the document being "Amended ______" of whatever you filed; the same form(s).
Okay, easy enough. I'm in California.
If I need to subpoena information, how do I file that? I won't do it now, but I am curious how I go about that
Jon
Yes, you can use the same forms and add Amended to the title; there are no separate forms to amend.
Oh, okay. Thank you.
Jon
You can read about how to subpoena, but you can find the forms you need on the court website, and you can search by "subp" which are the subpoena forms.
Jon
I do hope the information I provided was helpful and addressed your question.

Thank you so much! You helped me out tremendously. You have no idea how you helped.
Jon
Very welcome, glad I was able to help!
I am trying to request his financial information. Would it be request for production or request for admission?
Jon
Production from a party to the case, subpoena for a non-party.
