Our child support attorneys offer experienced, trusted advocacy to protect your financial security and provide for your child's financial needs in San Diego, Irvine and throughout the rest of Southern California.
How to Get Child Support
Child support is determined by a state support calculation that takes into account each parent's income, the amount of time the child spends with each parent, other children supported by each parent, expenses of the child, and other factors. Our San Diego child support lawyers will assist you in collecting information to document your income and your child's needs.
Both parents are obligated to disclose all sources and amounts of income. Some parents fail to do so, hiding income in order to pay less support. California family court judges are extremely busy and often take financial documents at face value. We don't. Our child support attorneys in San Diego and Irvine thoroughly review all financial documents looking for flaws or clues to hidden income and overstated expenses.
Hiding income is a sanctionable offense. We protect our clients from accidental under-reporting, which could result in fines and can be damaging to a person's credibility in any legal case they have before a family law judge.
Child Support Enforcement
If you were awarded child support but the other parent has failed to pay or refuses to pay, our child support attorneys in San Diego and Irvine can assist you with enforcement efforts, wage garnishment and bank account levies.
Child Support Protection
If you owe back support, you face loss of your driver's license as well as criminal and financial consequences. There are things a San Diego child support lawyer can do to help your situation, including negotiating a payment plan for arrearages and seeking a modification of support if it is warranted in your case.
Modification of Child Support in California
State law allows you to ask for an evaluation of the other party's income each year before seeking a legal motion changing child support payments. It may or may not be worth it to file a motion with the court but as your child support attorney we can send a request for information regarding income and evaluate it for you to see if a modification is in order.
