Carlsbad Child Support Attorney

Every aspect of your financial life is impacted by decisions related to child support, whether you are seeking support or being asked to pay it. California law establishes standard rules for support in California Family Code section 4053, but there’s still no one-size-fits-all outcome in child support disputes. If you’re involved in one, you need a strong legal advocate representing you. 

Contreras Law Firm is here to help. Our firm is focused exclusively on family law cases and we have decades of legal experience helping parents in support cases. Give us a call today at (619) 238-0616 to schedule a free consultation with a Carlsbad child support attorney to learn more about the assistance we can offer. 

What to Look for When Hiring a Carlsbad Child Support Attorney  

When hiring a Carlsbad child support attorney during your child support case, it’s important to select a firm with the right credentials and with a vested interest in helping you succeed in your case. 

Contreras Law Firm has a long history of satisfied clients, and we offer some unique skills and experiences that you can’t find elsewhere — and that maximize your chances of success. Here’s what our firm provides when you turn to us for help:

• Experience negotiating out-of-court agreements: We can help you come to a consensus with the other parent on the issue of support so you can avoid the stress and expense of litigation.
• Litigation experience: While our goal is to stay out of court when possible, we’re also primarily focused on protecting your child’s right to fair support. This means we are ready to litigate when necessary and we have the courtroom experience to excel when we do. 
• A long track record of success in child support claims: We have successfully helped many people seeking support and asked to pay it, ensuring they are treated fairly within the legal system. 

Here’s what to Expect from Your Carlsbad Child Support Lawyer 

Whether you are hoping to collect support or you are being asked to pay to provide for your children, you need a Carlsbad child support lawyer to protect your rights and help you understand your obligations. Contreras Law Firm can do that for you. Our firm will:

• Fight for you in and out of court: We can represent you in mediation or litigation, or negotiate on your behalf without help from a third party. In every case, we’ll be your strongest advocate, bringing our legal knowledge to work on your support case. 
• Help you to develop an understanding of California’s child support laws: There are standard guidelines in California that determine the amount of support parents must pay in most situations. We’ll help you see how those guidelines apply to your claim. 
• Work with you to create a support arrangement that works for your family or argue in court for your preferred support plan: In some cases, you may want to deviate from the standard guidelines and create your own plan with your ex. We’ll help you to negotiate on what works, draft an enforceable agreement, or convince the court why a different amount of support is best for your child’s needs. 

Contreras Law Firm is prepared to take care of all these tasks and more. We’ll handle all of the legal issues that are involved in your case so you can focus on building a strong financial future for you and your children.
