What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA!

Hypothetical situation: I am low income, unemployed, never married but have a child and child support order in place which reflects said low income. I invest and hold shares in a private start-up company. Said company either IPOs or is bought out. My original investment (by some rare stroke of good luck) returns high 2-figures or low 3-figures. I sell my shares and am taxed on said stock sale.

Question: Will CSS use my substantial but one-time gain (made known via my tax returns) to modify a higher child support order, despite remaining sporadically employed and low-income? If so, how long before I can request a reversal back to original order?

Not sure if this is a Finance Law or Child Support question, so I'll post in both.

Does no one know if stock sales (gains) are considered as income by Child Support Services in determining support orders?
