In California, when parents have problems with child support orders, the California Department of Child Support Services can provide assistance if a parent requests help. For noncustodial parents, the issue may be that child support payments are too high; for custodial parents, the issue may be that the obligor misses payments.

The forms required to file complaints are available at local child support agencies, typically county agencies, as well as the Department of Child Support Services' official website.
