Child Support And Enforcement​ in Fairfield, Hayward, and San Jose

Even while these agreements can be changed, courts won’t do so unless one of the parties can convincingly demonstrate that there has been a significant change in the circumstances, which is often incredibly challenging, that’s why you need a Fairfield, Hayward, or San Jose support lawyer who is knowledgeable in state law and can help you understand your rights and obligations if you have issues about an existing or pending child support order.

Even though the majority of parents want to provide for their children in any situation, there are parents out there who refuse to pay their required child support even after a court has previously ruled against them, despite the fact that the majority of parents want to provide for their children in any situation. Because of this, the majority of states, including California, have measures in place to assist parents in obtaining the child support payments to which they are legally entitled.

Without a child support agreement that has been properly established, enforcement cannot occur. Parents who have not received their required payments can move forward with enforcement once the requirement has been established. The non-paying party must be held in contempt for not making child support payments as the first stage in this procedure. This counts as a “quasi-criminal” offense and is punishable by fines, community work, and maybe jail time.

In order to help establish how much child support each parent will be obliged to pay in the case of a divorce, California has rigid criteria in place. These standards are determined by the remuneration of the parties and the proportion of time the child spends with each parent. Even while these agreements can be changed, courts won’t do so unless one of the parties can convincingly demonstrate that there has been a significant change in the circumstances, which is often incredibly challenging, that’s why you need a Pleasanton child support lawyer who is knowledgeable in state law and can help you understand your rights and obligations if you have issues about an existing or pending child support order.
