At Jos Family Law, our focus is to help your family navigate divorce and child custody with ease and compassion.
When a child's parents get divorced, the law requires one parent to pay child support to provide for the minors financial needs. These payments are made to support the child until they attain majority, maintain their living standard after divorce, and ensure the child's basic needs are well provided for.
Our child support attorney Orange County can help determine the right child support amount. We can pursue adequate support from your child at court, and ensure a fair resolution for both the payor and payee. Therefore, we aim to provide your children with adequate support while also making sure you are not overcharged for the same.
Child Support Laws in California
Child support is considered the basic duty of both parents in California. California law mandates that every parent is responsible for their minor children's needs. Parents have a moral and legal duty to support their children, which may cover the following:
· Housing
· Food
· Clothing
· Healthcare
· Education
· Extracurricular activities
This responsibility of parents is regardless of their marital status. The state guidelines hold that parents cannot opt out of paying child support. A parent who fails to fulfill their obligation towards the child may face legal consequences, including wage garnishment. If you have not been able to keep up with your child support payments, contact a Child support attorney in Orange County for help.
