San Diego Child Support Attorneys

Experienced Child Support Help in San Diego

30 Years of Combined Family Law Experience in San Diego County, California

In California, child support guidelines are used to calculate the amount of child support to be awarded upon divorce, when preexisting arrangements need to be modified and following paternity actions. These guidelines include three primary factors:

• The number of children involved
• The percentage of child custody time the paying non-custodial parent has with a child
• The respective income of both parents

Though child support guidelines can greatly simplify the process, a San Diego child support lawyer can often provide a great deal of assistance in supporting parents' child support goals, including:

• Advocating for clients' rights during the establishment of the initial child support orders
• The modification of ongoing child support after the initial support order is in place
• Helping clients with the child support payment process
• Helping clients engaged in disputes with the Department of Child Support Services
• Pursuing out-of-state ongoing support orders
• Helping clients to collect child support
