Getting Child Support

If your children’s mother was ordered to pay child support, but has either failed to make payments or failed to make payments in full, we can help you take the appropriate legal action.  Family court judges take child support matters very seriously, and become displeased when they hear a parent isn’t taking financial responsibility for their children.   If you find yourself in a situation where the mother isn’t making child support payments, then you should contact a San Francisco child support lawyer at our firm today.  Although the judge is likely to side in your favor, you still need someone to represent you in court who understands child support laws and you can ensure you get the money you need to help care for your children.

How Can our San Francisco Child Support Lawyers Help You?

At our firm, we offer our services to clients who are seeking enforcement of child support orders, as well as clients seeking child support for the first time.   Before we even file your case with the court, we need to review your income level and other financial responsibilities to come up with a figure that will ensure you have enough money to care for your children.  Once we have agreed upon a figure to ask for, we can then present your case to a judge.   

In some cases we can present the figure to the other party before going to family court. If your children’s mother agrees to pay what you’re asking for, then we can file the appropriate paperwork and be done with it.  However, if your children’s mother refuses to pay child support, or refuses to pay the amount you are requesting, then we will seek help from a judge. 

As soon as we are in front of the judge, we will inform him/her of the figure you are requesting and explain why you need that much money for your children.   After hearing your argument, the judge will review both yours and the mother’s financial resources, as well as the current custody arrangement. The judge will then make a ruling to uphold your request, order the mother to pay more, or order the mother to pay less.
