California law is very clear that both parents are expected to support their children. This does not mean, however, that conflicts don’t arise when it comes to child support.
You could face a number of legal issues, from questions about parentage to conflict over whether to use the default guidelines to determine the correct amount of support to challenges enforcing a support order.

How Can a Chula Vista Child Support Attorney Help You?
California has standard guidelines that assign support based on income, custody arrangement, number of children, and a variety of other factors. An online calculator can help you to understand the support you should receive — or pay — based on those guidelines.
In most circumstances, the guidelines are followed, but most is not all. Parents can negotiate a different support arrangement together, or one parent could argue for more or less support if there are special circumstances that justify a deviation. Convincing the court to order something different from the standard amount can be a challenge, but with the right Chula Vista child support lawyers, you may be successful if you can prove the situation warrants it.Â
Contreras Law Firm can provide invaluable help in understanding how the rules apply to you, in pursuing appropriate legal action to get the right support order in place, and in helping you and your children build a secure future.
