Child Support Lawyer Orange County

Joseph P. Downs, Child Support Lawyer: Orange County Family Law Attorney

As a parent, there’s nothing more important than providing for your children. But in the midst of a divorce / legal separation case or paternity suit, there are often numerous roadblocks to fulfilling this duty. The best help you can get while pursuing the best interests for your son or daughter during a dissolution of marriage or legal separation or paternity proceeding is that of a skilled, compassionate and experienced child support lawyer. Orange County-based Joseph P. Downs, child support attorney, fits these requirements perfectly. As the county counsel for the county of Orange County family law child support contempt cases, attorney Joseph P. Downs has many years of experience in working with the Orange County Department of Child Support Services (DCSS). We can help you in presenting your case.

At the Law Office of Joseph P. Downs, we always put your concerns first. This means being there for you throughout each step of the legal process. We’ll walk you through the different aspects of filing a child support suit and ensure that you fully understand the letter of the law and why it matters to you. We will never lose sight of your wishes and intentions and will do everything we can to bring your case to a favorable conclusion.

There are a few variables in the calculation of child support in a California child support case. The amount, means and duration of the child support is typically determined by statutory laws and formulas. The judge has some discretion over how the amount for child support is calculated, but there is room for dispute regarding the input data (i.e. parental income and expenses). With this in mind, our law office can help you estimate how much child support you might be ordered to pay or receive. We can also help you forge an amicable agreement out of court that is favorable for both parties and beneficial to your child or children.
