Determining Child Support Amounts
Child support in the state of California is determined by an algebraic formula that calculates income, expenses, and the division of child custody time. While the formula is straightforward, complexities arise when one or both spouses are self-employed or disputing the numbers entered into the equation. Because of the potential for drawn-out disputes, we help with temporary child support orders.
At A. Stephen Rocha, Esq., we take an in-depth, detail-oriented approach to determining child support amounts. We partner with forensic accountants to determine income, and investigate to see if one spouse is disclosing all money coming in. You are entitled to pay or receive an accurate amount based upon all the facts.
Consequences of Non-Payment of Child Support
Many times, we must revisit child support orders when one spouse is not paying what he or she owes. Our advocacy continues in securing the money the court ordered your spouse to pay. For our clients having difficulty paying child support, the Department of Child Support Services -- a government entity -- may step in and garnish wages or terminate driver's licenses without notice. We seek to help these clients minimize the damage while still trying to make payments in good faith.
