Orange County Child Support Lawyer

Getting Child Support in Orange County

If you are interested in receiving child support payments, you should discuss the circumstances of your child support case with an Orange County family law lawyer. Whether you are facing child support issues because of a divorce or a child custody agreement, an attorney can help make sure that support is established and is enforced. In order to request child support you must first know the location of the other parent and have established paternity. As a skilled Orange County child support lawyer I can help you locate the other parent and establish paternity, if needed. I can also help you determine how much child support you should receive in order to meet the needs of your child or children. If an agreement cannot be mutually reached with the other parent, then I can take your case to court to be heard and ruled on by a family law judge.

Once in court, a judge will review the entire child support case to determine what the other parent should pay as child support. It can be more or less than the amount requested, depending upon what the judge believes to be fair and based upon state guidelines. The judge will make a final decision based on the parents’ income, time shared with the child and any support obligations the parents may have for other children, along with many other factors according to California state child support guidelines.  Either way, if you already have been already awarded physical custody, obtaining a court enforced order may be easily and quickly obtained. In the event that custody is an issue, I can use my experience as a lawyer to help you to obtain or enforce a child custody agreement as well through the family court system.
