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.

Obtaining legal representation in court is a major decision that will impact the outcome of your case. In this regard, the client-attorney relationship is vital. Every client expects professional, honest, expert, and dedicated services from their lawyers. But sometimes, this dynamic is affected due to several reasons, like poor communication, attorney incompetence, unprofessionalism, or lack of honesty. During this time, the client is within his/her right to fire their legal representative.



But when is it too late to fire your attorney?



What to Consider When Firing Your Attorney?



Firing your attorney requires careful deliberation. Various factors come into play like the case's status, the client-attorney agreement, and whether you think your lawyer can achieve your goals or not.



As a general rule, firing an attorney when they have made significant progress in your case may not be wise. For instance, if they have successfully negotiated an agreement with your ex-spouse, firing them may offset the whole process and you may have to start from scratch. Additionally, in this case, your attorney will have a claim for their full legal fee.



Thus, carefully examine your agreement with your attorney and understand their fee model.



If you are thinking of changing your legal representation, consult with Jos Family Law. We will let you know the limitations and risks of doing so and help you make an informed decision for your case.

·        Unreasonable fees

·        Disorganized or unprepared attorney

Obtain Legal Help from the Best Family Lawyer

If you’re not happy with your attorney, consult with Jos Family Law. Ideally, we advise our clients to avoid changing attorneys if their case has made significant progress, for instance, if their previous attorney negotiated a settlement. Doing so may hamper the progress of your case and be detrimental to your best interests.
