The prospect of divorce never feels comfortable, but the potential for those tough child support and custody arguments adds further stress. If you are just starting the process, you probably have many questions:
- Who gets primary custody?
- How will visitation work?
- How will the amount of support be decided?
- Who will ensure that the child support is being used correctly?
- How does the custody arrangement affect support decisions?
- What about insurance, medical bills or school fees?
- What if one parent’s income changes?
- What if one parents wants to relocate out of state
With the help of an experienced family law attorney, you can navigate this unfamiliar territory with an advocate on your side.
Why Do I Need a Family Law Attorney?
The complex nature of child custody and support laws in California means that defining a fair and equitable child custody/support agreement can be a tricky. You may have plenty of well-meaning friends or family members who give you advice or anecdotal stories telling you what “should” happen in your divorce case. However, each and every divorce resolution is unique to the family dynamics, parental relationships, custody arrangements, personal incomes and needs of the children. Your children deserve positive relationships with both parents, and your divorce and child support attorney also makes sure the court hears your voice, goals, needs and true financial situation.
