Child Support Lawyer Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

California requires both parents to contribute to the support and care of their shared child. When parents are no longer together, the parent with primary physical custody of the child is usually entitled to receive monetary support from the other parent. Even in situations where both parents have 50/50 shared custody, there may be a significant financial difference between the two households to warrant one parent receiving support.

Whether you’re the parent paying child support or the parent entitled to receive it, it’s important to have legal advice. As your Rancho Palos Verdes child support lawyer, we review your situation and advise you of your rights. If you are entitled to support, we can file a petition with the court or seek to modify an existing order if your financial situation has significantly changed.

If you’re the parent expected to pay support, we can ensure your rights are protected and that you’re not put in an unfair position. If your financial situation changes, and you can no longer meet your child support obligations, then we can petition the court to reduce the amount you pay.

We also address issues where one parent violates the child support order or withholds the child from visitation to get money from the other parent. California courts take a dim view of this behavior and will take immediate action to get your child’s other parent back in line.
