When it comes to family law, there are few issues more complex than child support. Our dedicated team of lawyers will fight for your legal rights, and help you get the money you need for your kids.
The cost of raising children is a significant issue for many divorcing couples. Working out a fair arrangement can provide a sense of normalcy to the child’s life and the parent’s finances. It is also a factor in the custody determination process.
In most cases, a higher earning spouse is ordered to pay a certain amount of money to the lower-earning parent in order to help offset their expenses and ensure that the children have the means to thrive. However, this is a highly sensitive and complicated issue, and many high earners may contest the request for child support. Our experienced Sacramento Child Support Attorney can provide key information regarding California child support laws and help you work out an arrangement that meets your family’s needs.
Child support formulas attempt to approximate the proportion of a parent’s income that would have been spent on their children if the family had not been split by divorce. While the courts generally adhere to these guidelines, there are a number of circumstances that could prompt the court to order more or less than what is provided in the formula. Having an experienced lawyer by your side as you initiate this process can significantly increase your chances of obtaining the results you desire.
