Protecting Your Children's Best Interests

Child support in California is determined by state guidelines, and both parents are responsible for supporting their children. Whether the other parent has stopped paying, is earning more than they claim, or you need to establish a first-time order, we guide you through the entire process.

Establish Custody

Start a custody or parentage case and set a binding schedule that's in the best interest of your child.

Modify Support

Ask the court to increase or lower child support based on a change in income or circumstances.

Enforce Orders

If the other parent stopped paying, we help you go to court to enforce what's owed to your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I establish child custody in Los Angeles?

We help you file a Petition to Establish Parental Relationship. Once paternity is established, you can file a Request for Order asking the court to set a legal and binding custody and visitation schedule. We handle requesting mediation and a hearing date, and serving the other parent.

Can you help me increase or lower child support?

Yes. We prepare the Request for Order, child support calculations (Dissomaster), and income and expense documentation, then file with the court and serve the other party. With 23 years of experience, we know how to pursue a modification in California.

The other parent stopped paying child support. What can I do?

It's always better to have a court order in place. If the other parent has stopped paying and you need to go to court, we can prepare the documents to help you enforce and collect what's owed to your child.

Can child support be established without a divorce?

Yes. Once paternity is established through a parentage case, you can request child support, custody, and visitation orders — you don't need to be going through a divorce to do this.
