Commonly Asked Questions

How can a child support attorney assist me in Tustin?

A child support attorney in Tustin can provide invaluable assistance throughout the child support process. They can help you understand your rights and obligations under California law, guide you in gathering necessary documentation, and represent your interests in negotiations or court proceedings. An attorney can also help you navigate complex situations, such as modifications to existing support orders or disputes over payment amounts. With their support, you can feel more confident in pursuing a resolution that meets your family's needs.

How long does child support last in California?

In California, child support typically lasts until the child turns 18 years old, but it can extend beyond that under certain circumstances. For instance, if the child is still in high school and is not yet 19, support may continue until graduation. Child support can also end if the child marries, becomes emancipated, joins the military, passes away, or enters a domestic partnership. Additionally, if the child has special needs, support may be required for a longer duration. It is important for parents to stay informed about their obligations and any potential changes in the law that may affect their child support responsibilities. Consulting with a knowledgeable attorney can provide clarity on how long support will last in your specific situation.
