Existing law provides that in a proceeding for dissolution of marriage or for legal separation, the court may order a party to submit to an examination by a vocational training counselor upon a noticed motion, for good cause, by one of the parties. Existing law authorizes a court to terminate or modify an award of child or spousal support at any time as the court determines to be necessary, except as specified. In this regard, existing case law requires that the court grant a request for modification of spousal support only if there is a material change of circumstances, other than those accounted for in the previous order. Existing law provides, until January 1, 2011, that in a proceeding in which a spousal support order exists or in which the court has retained jurisdiction over a spousal support order, if a companion child support order is in effect, the termination of child support shall constitute a change of circumstances that may be the basis for a request for modification of spousal support. This bill would extend the above repeal date until January 1, 2014. The bill would revise these provisions to require that a motion to modify spousal support on the basis of the change in circumstances caused by the termination of a child support order be filed within 6 months of the termination of the child support order. The bill would authorize either party to request the appointment of a vocational training counselor if a motion to modify spousal support on that basis is filed. The bill would also enumerate specified circumstances in which termination of the child support order does not constitute a change of circumstances.
