Child Support In California

According to the law, children have the right to receive financial support from both parents. The amount of support is strictly determined by a percentage of gross income or, in a shared visitation situation, by a complicated equation. The court has very little authority to deviate from this equation except in limited circumstances. Your lawyer needs to make sure that child support is calculated correctly and is fair to both parties and the children.

WORKING WITHIN AND BEYOND CALIFORNIA CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINES

California law establishes general child support guidelines. We help you understand the basis of these guidelines and how they apply to you. We are committed to achieving the best possible financial solutions within the guidelines. That begins with using the discovery process to compel a full, truthful financial disclosure, so the court can calculate basic child support with accurate data. Affluent couples must often deal with issues beyond basic child support, such as payments for private school tuition, sports and enrichment activities. We help you obtain support payments that best accommodate your financial circumstances and most appropriately provide for your child’s needs.


Through the structured process of mediation, couples can put aside their differences and focus on the one objective where they tend to agree — their children’s well-being. Mediation presents a forum for creating fair child support plans that allow both parents to share in the financial obligations of raising their children. We can guide the process toward equitable solutions.

ENFORCEMENT AND MODIFICATION OF CHILD SUPPORT

If your spouse has fallen behind on child support payments, you may need assistance to collect the money that rightfully belongs to your child. We guide you through the process of enforcing your child support order.


Of course, financial problems or the changing needs of your children may alter your circumstances. Still, you must continue to pay child support at the current level until the court modifies your order. We help you petition expeditiously for a modification to avoid undue hardship.
