Child Support Attorney In Sacramento, California

Reaching An Agreement With Your Divorced Spouse

A court order sets the obligation for child support. In some situations, you and your former spouse will find common ground. However, in certain circumstances, disagreements arise, necessitating a court appearance to achieve a fair outcome.  The court takes into consideration various factors when determining the amount of child support that should be paid.


One important factor is the income of both parents. The court will look at each parent's salary, wages, and other sources of income to determine their ability to provide support for the child. This includes bonuses, commissions, and overtime pay. If one parent is unemployed or underemployed, the court may impute income based on what they could potentially earn. Another factor is the number of children involved in the case. Typically, as the number of children increases, so does the amount of child support awarded. This is because it is assumed that more children require more financial support from both parents.


Regardless of your family's unique situation, Hope Elder in Sacramento, California is equipped to diligently work with you. She aims to ensure that the child support order respects your family's needs and is just.
