Legal Question in Family Law in California

You've made too many abbreviations in an effort to provide some facts and ask a question and I am having trouble understanding your question. However, it appears as though you are telling us the court has already granted her request for additional child support. Was there a court date you attended? If there was what happened? After your daughter is 18 yrs of age child support is not retroactive. However, if your wife was receiving less than minimum guideline support through a stipulated agreement and wanted an increase a new support order raising the support to the minimum level is reasonable. It would not be reasonable to go back to the past and order a retroactive increase when there is a stipulated agreement in place, unless there is some other reason the court used in it's decision. I would suggest you take your supporting documentation to a family law attorney and have them review it. You may find it very inexpensive in the long run.
