California Child Support Modifications and Enforcement

California State-Certified Family Law Specialist

Scenario One: You Believe that a Support Modification is in Order

You were divorced, and have been paying child support or spousal support according to the settlement approved by, or ordered by, the court. Or you have been paying child support for the benefit of a child born outside of marriage. However, circumstances have changed. Your income has decreased . . . or the other parent of your child has had an increase in income. Or perhaps one or both of you plan to move, requiring a change in child custody and visitation.

To address any such problem involving spousal support or child support, contact the San Jose, California spousal support and child support modification lawyer. I will be honest with you as to the cost-benefit analysis of your case. I will tell you clearly if your legal fees will be more than the money you may save by obtaining a support order modification.

Scenario Two: You Need the Court to Enforce the Support Order that you Depend On

You are doing the best you can to care for your child following a divorce or separation between you and the child’s other parent. You rely on the child support that was ordered when your child custody and support case was settled either in or out of court. However, now the payments have stopped – or the amount is less than it should be. Basically, you have stopped receiving the monthly checks that you depended on.

I am a state-certified family law specialist in California. My thirty years of experience have given me the knowledge and ability that will allow me to pursue enforcement of your spousal or child support court order. Former clients say I am effective, efficient, personable, and understanding.

I help both paying and receiving former spouses or partners. Contact me through this Web site to make an appointment.
