Child Support

Los Angeles Child Support Lawyer

California has a very specific system for determining child support based on a complicated formula. The primary factors that go into the calculation are the amount of money each party makes and the amount of time that each party spends with the child or children. However, there are many other factors that are utilized.

Cooper-Gordon LLP is comprised of experienced child support and family law attorneys. We advise and represent clients in all aspects of child support, including:

Child Support Can Change

Few things in life are constant, and that principle applies to child support too. The court will issue a temporary child support order at the time of the initial hearing, followed by a "permanent" order, which may or may not be the amount specified in the temporary order. Representation by an experienced lawyer at either of these stages can help you obtain the correct payment level; but the sooner Cooper-Gordon LLP begins working with you, the better.

Although the second order is commonly called the "permanent" order, it too can change over time as incomes and residence times change. Our attorneys can go to court on your behalf to obtain a modification in the support level in the event of a significant decrease or increase in income or change in residence time.
