Child Support Lawyer in the San Fernando Valley
Child-Focused Representation throughout the Los Angeles Metro Area
If you have decided to file for divorce and you have minor children, you will need to make difficult and emotional decisions about the well-being of your children, including the amount of support that will be paid to meet their needs. While the calculation of child support can be fairly straightforward under the California guidelines, you want an experienced attorney to make certain that all factors are considered and included in the support order.
At the Law Offices of Robert Gantman, we bring a child and family focused approach to all matters related to the determination of child support. We know that every situation is unique and take the time to understand your individual circumstances, so that we can produce results that work for you. We know that the legal process can be overwhelming at times, so we start by making certain that you learn about the process and what to expect as you move forward. To schedule a confidential consultation, contact our office or call us at 866-930-2306.
Our Child Support Practice
When we represent clients with child support concerns, we review all proposed orders, ensuring that the child support guidelines have been followed, that all relevant income has been properly considered and that percentage of custodial time is factored in. If there are non-traditional sources of income, such as self-employment income, seasonal income or commission-based income, we will make certain that those sources of income are included, when appropriate, and that the calculations of income are reasonable.
If your divorce is final and your circumstances have changed, we can help you file a request for child support modification. To learn more, see our modifications page.
