FAQs

What is a flat fee?

Flat fees are offered for reviewing and/or preparing documents, pleadings or agreements, uncontested divorces, summary dissolution, or the scope of the representation is limited to a specific legal issue such as child custody, visitation, support or drafting a marriage settlement agreement. Flat fees range from $500.00 to $10,000.00 depending on the services to be provided.

How is child support calculated?

Child support is calculated using a Statewide Guideline Formula that is used by all family law attorneys and judges. Once the court makes a finding of a Guideline Child Support, the amount may not be increased or decreased without a very good reason such as a change in incomes or the parenting time with the children. The formula uses information such as the time the parents have with the children, the gross (pre-tax) income of the parties, the tax filing status of the parties and qualified tax deductions.

Will I have to pay child support for a child that is not mine?

Maybe. If the court finds that a person has held a child out as their own and that it would be in the best interest of the child to receive child support from that person, the Court can order that person to pay child support for a child that is not biologically theirs.

More answers can be found on the FAQ page of our website.

Have you ever tried to calculate child support in your case? California has the most complicated formula of all 50 states. We are the only state that requires a computer program to determine support. I was a member of the original San Diego County child support guideline committee. When the State took over, issues became dramatically more difficult. You should not try to calculate the support yourself. Issues such as tax exemptions, child care credits, hardship deductions, etc., need a professional approach. We are here to help you with all such issues and make sure you get the best possible orders.
