Some parents don’t take this obligation seriously, while others could disagree about how much of a financial contribution is appropriate.
The good news is that child support can be established and enforced by the California Family Court, ensuring that a reasonable amount is chosen. Law Office of Michael L. Fell can assist you regardless of which side you’re on, whether you’re the custodial parent who isn’t receiving a fair share or you’re the parent paying support and it’s simply too much.

Child Support in California Is Calculated Using a Specified Formula
In some ways, California makes it simpler than other states to obtain reasonable child support. This is due to a formula called the Guideline Calculation Formula. It evaluates a number of variables to calculate the proper level of child support. It examines the child custody agreement and how much time the child spends with each parent, the price of daycare, the combined income of the parents, and how each parent files their taxes.
You can rely on Law Office of Michael L. Fell to carefully examine the facts of your case when you deal with us. We will make an effort to provide you with the details you require to understand how much the courts believe you are entitled to or are compelled to pay. We can assist you in obtaining the proof you require to support your position. To give you the best opportunity of succeeding, we put in a lot of effort.
Do You Have to Cope with The Difficulties Caused by Missed Child Support Payments?
Whether you are the parent who is expected to pay the child support or the parent who is supposed to receive it, late payments can cause problems for both parties. A California attorney can assist you in either case. If you owe child support, we can take the necessary legal action. We could, for instance, ask the court to garnish their earnings. We can also ask the court to use its authority to impose sanctions, such as suspending the offender’s driver’s license.
On the other hand, if you’re having trouble making your payments, you should definitely speak with an attorney. If it’s temporary, we can assist you in getting a temporary plan approved to catch up. If the problem persists over time, such as a job loss, we might ask the court to modify your payments permanently.
