California Child Support Laws

Child support payments are determined based on set child support guidelines. These guidelines set forth a formula analyzing the net income of both parties, the percentage of income earned by the non-custodial parent, and the number of children. As an experienced child support lawyer, I can help you evaluate and predict what child support may be ordered.

Modification of Child Support

When child support is initially established, it is unreasonable to expect that it should remain the same forever. The law firm of Marcus A. Torigian, Attorney at Law, is able to help you modify child support orders to reflect current situations. There must be a significant change in circumstances in order to change child support payments, such as:

• Your child has turned 18.
• As your child has grown older, he/she is spending more time with you. Increased parenting time should result in decreased child support.
• You have changed jobs, resulting in a significant pay decrease or increase.
• Child custody orders are modified.

With more than 13 years of family law experience, I understand how to resolve family disputes effectively, efficiently, and amicably. In most cases, a social worker issues a report on the changed situations and makes recommendations for modification. This report can be beneficial in expediting the resolution.
