Child Support

Bay Area Child Support Attorney

At the time of divorce, both parents may face financial hardships. Division of property, a split income, and subsidizing separate homes can lead to very different financial circumstances after a divorce. In addition to the division of property, couples may be faced with the additional issue of child support. Child support payments are made to the custodial parent based on child support guidelines set by the statute. At The Law Office of Wallace C. Doolittle, our attorneys have extensive experience helping our clients protect their financial interests after a divorce.

Alameda County Child Support Lawyer

In contrast to alimony, child support is determined by a strict formula calculated by computer software programs such as Dissomaster. In our view, children should never be used as leverage in seeking child support and we discourage this at every opportunity. Our goal is simply to find the accurate information required to calculate the proper amount of support the children will need.

Post-judgment modifications to Child Support Orders

You may be able to obtain a modification to an existing child support order if a change in circumstances has rendered the payments impractical or inadequate. We can help you increase support payments for a child's special need, if you lost a job, or if you have suffered an injury leaving you unable to work. We can also help you seek a reduction to your obligations if a job loss or other change in circumstances has left you unable to pay.
