Ensuring Your Children Are Taken Care of with the Help of Our San Diego Child Support Attorneys

Are you going through a divorce and worried about how it will impact your children financially? You‘re not alone. As a parent, your top priority is making sure your kids have the resources they need to thrive, even if your marriage is ending. That‘s where our experienced San Diego child support attorneys at Spodek Law Group come in. We’re here to fight for you and your children every step of the way.

Understanding Child Support in California

When parents get divorced in California, the court will almost always order the non-custodial parent (the one who spends less time with the kids) to pay child support to the custodial parent. The goal is to ensure that BOTH parents are contributing to their children‘s upbringing and that the kids‘ standard of living doesn‘t take a major hit just because mom and dad are splitting up.But how is the amount of child support determined? It‘s not just a random number picked out of thin air. California has a statewide formula that takes into account:

• Each parent’s income
• The amount of time each parent spends with the children
• Childcare costs
• Healthcare expenses
• Mandatory union dues
• And a host of other factors

The formula can be complicated, which is why having a knowledgeable child support lawyer on your side is so important. We know the ins and outs of California’s child support laws and will work tirelessly to reach an arrangement that works for YOU.

Modifying Child Support Orders

Just because a child support order is in place doesn’t mean it’s set in stones forever. Life circumstances change – maybe you lost your job, or the other parent got a major promotion. When a substantial change occurs, we can petition the court to modify the existing child support order.Some common reasons for seeking a modification include:

• Involuntary loss of employment
• A shift in custody or visitation schedules
• Disability or serious illness of a parent
• A parent having another child
• A child’s medical needs have increased

The key is to act quickly. Child support modifications are not retroactive in California, meaning the court can only modify the order from the date you file the request – not the date the change in circumstances occurred. The longer you wait, the more back child support you may owe or the more time you’ll go without receiving the additional support you need.

Enforcing Child Support Orders

We’ve all heard those horror stories about parents who refuse to pay court-ordered child support, leaving the other parent struggling to make ends meet. If you find yourself in this situation, *our aggressive child support attorneys are here to help.*We can assist with a variety of enforcement measures, such as:

• Wage garnishments
• Intercepting tax refunds
• Placing liens on property
• Suspending the non-paying parent’s driver’s license
• Contempt of court proceedings

You shouldn’t have to spend your time and energy chasing down every child support payment – that’s our job. We‘ll use every legal tool at our disposal to ensure you receive the support you’re entitled to.
