Spousal and Child Support

North San Diego County Child Support and Alimony Attorneys

Child support and spousal support matters are often the most complex issues in a divorce. The case and statutory law that governs are complicated. Some of the questions posed are: What is appropriate child support? Who should receive spousal support and for how long? At our law firm, we understand the laws that govern both child and spousal support. We know how to use the facts in each case to zealously advocate for the best position for our clients.

We encourage you to e-mail us or call us at 760-941-2260 to schedule a consultation and learn in more detail how we can put our knowledge of spousal and child support to work as your family law attorneys.

The statutory child support guidelines used in California are designed for the majority. They usually are not applicable to people with very high incomes. In these cases, the numbers produced by the California guideline formulas do not necessarily meet the financial needs of the child of issue. Our team is dedicated to ensuring a proper child support order is rendered in your case.

The problems pertaining to spousal support (also known as alimony or spousal maintenance) are even more challenging. California has no guideline for spousal support. The court has the discretion to award support to either spouse based on a variety of factors, including: actual income, marital standard of living, length of marriage, health issues, educational background, the capacity to earn, and the relative needs of each party. We will put together a comprehensive legal strategy to effectively present your position.

Our law firm is led by the highly regarded attorney James A. Hennenhoefer. We take a team approach to every case.  This means that you will benefit from the unique knowledge and experience of various members of our firm. Our team takes pride in the level of representation we provide to our clients and our ability to expertly handle the most complex support issues.

In addition to handling child support and spousal support in your divorce process, we are available to help with modifications of existing judgments.
