Jos Family Law has divorce and family law attorneys who have considerable experience in helping families navigate the complexities of domestic disputes. We have extensive combined experience in handling child support issues as well.

Family law courts in O.C. are generally very busy, so you only get a limited time to make your case during a child support hearing. As your child support attorneys in Orange County, we ensure that the judges get a fair picture of the finances, needs, and situation.

We understand the legal process well and help you to understand all the steps involved. California Family Code § 3900 states that every parent has an obligation to support their minor children in a manner suitable to the children's circumstances. Furthermore, parents also have the duty to support their children, regardless of their marital status or whether the child is their biological child or not.

Duty to Support Minors

The California Family Code states that both parents have the duty to support their minor children until they attain majority, i.e., reach the age of 18 years. However, the courts may extend that age to more than 18 years under special circumstances, like due to any disability of the child. Typically, the parent may also have to pay child support until age 19, until the child is still in high school and unmarried.

The Family Code § 4055 mandates a statewide recognized formula for calculating child support, which takes into account the following:

●    Each parent's income;

●    Time spent by the child with each parent; and

●    Other discretionary factors
