Factors for Determining Child Support
Child support payments are determined by state guidelines which encompass several factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Income of father and/or earnings ability
- Income of mother and/or earnings ability
- Each parent's parenting time
We will sit down with you and work through these numbers in order to help you obtain fair and equitable child support orders.
Our founder, attorney Gene Siegel, has experience serving as Minor's Counsel - a position appointed by the court to represent the interest of children in hotly contested cases. He will take great care in ensuring that your children are not negatively affected by legal proceedings.
Factors for Determining Spousal Support
There are many factors in determining spousal support, many of which are identified in family code section 4320. These include length of marriage, who stayed home to raise the family, marital standard of living, among others. I will personally discuss all factors with you as they apply to your situation.
We will negotiate and argue on your behalf in order to obtain fair and equitable spousal support orders. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer.
