| Child Support |
Our Fathers rights attorneys know that child custody issues can be heart-wrenching and in many situations your ex-spouse can be attempting to pit the children against you. Unfortunately, most custody fights come down to money, with both parents fighting , rather than seeing the big picture. Here is the main issue you must remember, fighting over child support is often pointless because California child support obligations are usually calculated by a mandated support schedule that takes into account a variety of factors. The court will simply plug the numbers into a program called dispute or dissomaster and the numbers pop out. Our dads law attorneys know how to fight for you to make sure that you are not getting manipulated by opposing council using numbers that are incorrect. We are very thorough in our income and expense reporting and we also understand the complexities of a support issue where income is either hard to prove because of self employment or issues regarding large estates.

Fathers understanding Child Support
When divorce happens and there are children involved, the court may order the "non-custodial" parent to pay a portion of his or her income as child support. If you are a father in Newport Beach or a surrounding beach community and you feel as though you are paying too much in support or ar not getting enough you need to talk to one of our Father's Rights Child Support attorneys. This money is used for care in the upbringing of your child or children.
Child Support Orders
Child support orders are issued by the family court under the state’s child support guidelines. The guidelines determine the amount of support that must be paid, based on the non-custodial parent's income and the number of children involved. Under the law, children have the right to benefit from both parents' incomes. |

We believe that because there is a direct relationship between child support obligations and parenting time that the fight in court should not be about how much money she wants to receive from you but rather what is the best parenting arrangement for the kids. Once that is figured out we can help you figure out the best way to present this to the court. We will help you make sure that your child benefits. Call us for a free consultation and we can run the numbers so you will at least have some piece of mind. |

| A Quick Note on Time Share |
|
"If each parent is empowered by joint legal custody and is allowed involvement in the full variety of child rearing activities, few parents or children will feel deprived. A parent overly concerned that he see his child exactly the same amount of time as his ex-spouse becomes more of an accountant than a parent. Furthermore, this strict accounting of time can also set the stage for many future arguments, when arrangements must be changed because of extenuating circumstances, which routinely come up. Finally, such arrangements are often transitional. As children get older, they frequently don't want to switch households so often. In short, insisting upon strict equality of time spent with the child may be in the weaker parent's interest but it is rarely in the child's." from Divorced Dads |
