Complicated Support Cases: How We Can Assist You
In California, child support is determined based on statutory guidelines. The factors used to determine child support are primarily based on income and the number of children. In most instances, you do not deviate from the support amount that the guidelines give. However, high earners often require deviations from the guidelines, given the high amount that the primary earner can pay. These situations can present significant complexities that must be addressed by an experienced family lawyer.
At our firm, we routinely represent men and women in child support cases involving high awards, as well as complex and high net worth divorce. We will examine all the factors involved in the situation to determine the best approach to resolving the legal issues at hand.

What should I do if I am not receiving my child support payments?
If you are not receiving your child support payments in Newport Beach, it’s essential to take immediate action. You should first review your child support order to understand the payment schedule. If payments are overdue, you may consider reaching out to the paying parent directly to discuss the issue. However, if communication doesn't resolve the problem, it's prudent to seek legal counsel. Experienced attorneys can assist in filing for child support enforcement, which may involve legal measures such as warrants or income withholding to ensure payment. Acting promptly can help safeguard your financial needs and your child's welfare.
What factors determine the amount of child support in Newport Beach?
In Newport Beach, child support calculations are influenced by several key factors. These include the income levels of both parents, which plays a significant role in determining financial obligations. Additionally, the amount of time each parent spends with the child is pivotal. The more time a parent spends, the less support they may be required to pay. Other considerations include necessary expenses, such as mortgage payments and health care costs, which can also impact the child support amount. It’s essential to consult with a legal professional familiar with these factors to ensure that the calculations reflect your exact situation.
