California Child Support Lawyer

Serving Fairfield, Benicia, and Surrounding Areas

In matters of child support, the needs of the children must always come first. If you are a parent going through a divorce, you most likely know what will be best for your children. Getting your ideal child support schedule put into a divorce agreement, however, can be tricky.

For many years, The Law Offices of Susan E. Christiansen have been helping people throughout the country who have child support issues in California's Contra Costa and Solano counties. We even assist clients living in other countries as part of our special practice serving military parents. Regardless of where you live, our child support lawyers will give you and your concerns the compassion and attention they deserve, while fighting hard to get you what you need.

Calculation of Child Support

A lawyer working in child support matters typically follows a formula that takes into account both parents' earnings, the custody and visitation arrangement, health insurance expenses, and much more. However, in many circumstances, exceptions can be made that change the amount dramatically.

The duration of child support is less complex. Most often, child support is provided until a child turns 18 or 19. Parents can of course make special arrangements for paying child support for a longer time, or for children with special needs.

Modifications and Enforcement

Among all aspects of a divorce agreement, child support most often results in post-divorce legal actions such as modifications and enforcement. If you need or are fighting a modification to a child support arrangement, we can help. And if you are owed back child support, our attorneys can help you petition the courts for enforcement of the agreement.
