Summary
In California, forcing someone to take a drug test requires a court order and significant evidence. For child support modification, fill out Request for Order (Form FL-300) and Income and Expense Declaration (Form FL-150). To submit evidence, ensure it complies with California Evidence Code and consider filing a Declaration (Form MC-030). If a motion for reconsideration is denied, consider an appeal with Notice of Appeal (Form APP-002) or request a Stay of Order (Form FL-305). Consulting a family lawyer is advisable.Full Conversation

Hello Scott, it's a complex situation. In California, it is not straightforward to force someone to take a drug test. You may need a court order to do so, which requires significant evidence of drug abuse. It's advisable to consult with a family lawyer to understand the process better.
if, she ordered testing on me and i can get tested, cant she be tested as well? anyways I have text, messages, pictures, etc...
Hello Scott, while your evidence may help, the court will decide who gets tested based on the best interest of any involved children. You should present your evidence to a family lawyer or the court.
i need to get a reduction in child support, what forms? is there somrthing easy to follow to fill out those forms
Hello Scott, for child support modification in California, you'll need to fill out two forms:
- Request for Order (Form FL-*)
- Income and Expense Declaration (Form FL-*)
Instructions on how to fill out these forms can be found on California Courts' website. It's advisable to seek legal counsel to ensure accuracy.
i want to get my evidence in, & already did a motion for reconsideration, what else can
Hello Scott, to get your evidence admitted, you need to ensure it complies with California Evidence Code. You might also need to submit a 'Declaration' (Form MC-*). Remember to submit copies to all parties. Consult with a lawyer to ensure you're doing it correctly.

Hello Scott, if you've already filed for a motion for reconsideration and want to submit more evidence, you may want to consider an 'Ex Parte Application for Continuance' (Form FL-*). This gives you more time to compile your evidence. Remember, consulting with a family lawyer is always beneficial.

I do?
Hi Scott, if your motion for reconsideration was denied, you might want to consider an appeal if the court made legal errors. You will need a 'Notice of Appeal' (Form APP-*). Keep in mind, appeals can be complex and it's recommended to seek legal counsel.

Hello Scott, if your motion for reconsideration was denied, you could potentially appeal the decision, or file a renewed motion for reconsideration if new facts or circumstances arise. Please keep in mind that these processes can be complex, and legal advice from a family lawyer is recommended.
he set the motion for reconsideration 60 days out. that would be the time I could appeal. what else could I do?
Hello Scott, another option could be to request a 'Stay of Order' (Form FL-*) if you believe the order will cause irreparable harm. Also, consider engaging mediation services to resolve your disputes. Remember, a family lawyer's advice will be beneficial.
