Family Law · Support
Whether you're seeking support or contesting a request, accurate figures and strong advocacy make all the difference. We ensure support orders are fair, enforceable, and reflective of the real financial picture.
California uses a statewide guideline formula to calculate child support, taking into account both parents' income, the amount of time each parent spends with the child, and other relevant expenses.
While the formula provides a baseline, there are many situations where departures from the guideline are appropriate — including high-income cases, special needs children, or unusually high childcare or medical costs.
Spousal support, also called alimony, may be ordered temporarily during divorce proceedings or permanently after a divorce is finalized — particularly after long marriages where one spouse sacrificed career opportunities.
Courts consider many factors when determining spousal support, including the length of the marriage, each spouse's earning capacity, contributions to the other's education or career, and the marital standard of living.
Our Commitment
Support orders that are too high or too low can cause lasting financial harm. Our attorneys work with financial experts when needed to ensure every income source is accurately accounted for — and that the resulting order is something you can actually live with.
