- Child Support
In California, the level of child support is based on statutory guidelines. Factors such as the number of children, the incomes of the parents and the child's residency time with each parent determine the monthly child support payment.

It can get complicated, and to protect your rights you need a family law attorney with experience in child support determination and enforcement. Our firm has represented people in child support matters for more than 14 years. We advise and represent clients in all aspects of child support, including: Determination of the child support level; Modifications in child support; Complex child support issues; and Paternity as it relates to child support.

Attorney Barbara Klein, an experienced family law attorney who represents clients in Orange County, California. Two of the most frequently asked questions at our law practice concern spousal support, commonly called alimony: "Will I receive spousal support?" and "Will I have to pay spousal support?” The answer is that it depends on your situation. In some cases, the court will order the payment of spousal support, commonly called alimony, on a temporary, interim or permanent basis. In most cases however, the parties themselves can agree to a settlement that either includes or excludes the provision of spousal support.

The law though, is very clear about the specific circumstances by which an annulment can be granted. If your marriage was based on fraudulent misrepresentations or your spouse was already married to another person, it may be possible to obtain an annulment. We have helped a number of people obtain annulments. We understand the law regarding this process and when it will and will not be allowed by the court. If you are not eligible for an annulment, our firm can represent you in a divorce action.
