San Jose Child Support Lawyer

In California, the parent without custody is typically ordered to pay child support. The court may also order one party to pay a certain amount of spousal support (or alimony) each month. At the Dominion Law Group our San Jose child support attorneys can explain what factors are used to determine child support. We can also assist you both in modifying or enforcing support payments after your divorce.

Calculating Child Support in San Jose

California uses formulas in statutory law to calculate child support costs. The amount of child support you are required to pay will depend on several factors used in the formula, such as:

• Income
• Child Care Costs
• Medical Expenses
  • Health Insurance
  • Medical Bills
  • etc...
• Educational expenses
  • College
  • Private School
  • etc...
• The amount of time spent with the child
• Standard of living before the divorce
• And More

Child support payments are usually made until the child turns 18 or 19, if they are still in high school full-time. If you need to speak to a child support lawyer about your child support payments, call us at (408) 288-5592, or contact one of our child support lawyers online.

Child Support Modifications

While the permanent child support amount is set by the court at the time of the divorce decree, it can change over time. A promotion or a new job that provides a higher salary, a layoff, a change in child custody arrangements — each can result in child support modifications by California child support law. The attorneys at the Dominion Law Group can analyze your current child support levels. If need be, we can petition the court on your behalf to obtain a modification in the child support requirement which reflects the new situation.
