Parents Rights Attorney Orange County

California Family Code § 3900 codifies the general obligation of both parents to support their minor children “in the manner suitable to the child’s circumstances.” In implementing this guideline, courts must adhere to the principles that (1) a parent’s first and principal obligation is to support his or her minor children according to the parent’s circumstances and station in life; and (2) both parents are mutually responsible for the support of their children, which is not limited to biological offspring.

If a parent willfully fails to satisfy his or her statutory child support duties, the other parent, or the child through a guardian ad litem, may bring an action against the parent to enforce the obligation. If a parent fails to pay child support, child support orders and judgments are enforceable until paid in full or otherwise satisfied. Therefore, an action to recover child support arrearages may be maintained at any time, even after the child has reached the age of majority.

In the event that one of the parents or guardians has been receiving financial assistance from the government, or if a private case has been opened with the Department of Child Support Services, DCSS will automatically beging to collect evidence against the other parent.

Child support orders are based on strict guidelines that take into account custodial time and parental income. It is strongly advised to find an attorney who knows intricacies of family law matters. When child support is contested, the court is authorized, on a showing of “good cause,” to sever that issue for a separate trial with preference over all other civil matters not entitled to similar priority.

Thank you very much to Mr. Jos and to all his group of professionals who helped me get out of my child support case with a very good result. Each case is different and my case was very complicated. I live in the state of Virginia and the child support office of the state of California was starting a case against me, the amount they wanted me to pay was ridiculously high I didn't know what to do because I don't live in California and I had never met the child either. I searched online for a lawyer in California and thank God I found Mr. Jos's law office. I don't know them personally but I put my trust in them and they didn't disappoint me. We had very good communication despite the distance and they were always available to talk to me and clarify my doubts. Mr. James was the one who took my case to the end and after a long and very difficult process everything went very well in my favor much more than expected. I am very grateful to God for putting the entire team of professionals from Mr. Jos' office on my way. Words are not enough for me to describe everything they did for me and how grateful I am. I definitely recommend Mr. Jos's law firm. Thank you Mr. James for not giving up in my case and having achieved a magnificent result in my favor.

This was the second attorney that represented me for my divorce. Binoye is a very knowledgeable, fair and professional attorney. They are reliable and this made my experience way less painful. They are definitely not greedy for money, they are not one of the many attorneys out there that overbill for their services. I truly recommend them.

Nader Zayid

JOS family Law took on my case which entailed custody and move away components and I honestly could not say enough great things about JOS Family Law! Mr. Jos is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but it is also extremely obvious how much he cares for his clients on a personal level as well. There is an expression that two heads are better than one, however, Mr. Jos' philosophy takes it further as eight heads are better than two. It was so impressive and reassuring how collaborative everyone at the office works together to meet on regular cadences and discuss their client's cases to brainstorm strategies in order to seek the best possible outcome for their clients. Mr. Jos has an amazing team of extremely talented and knowledgeable attorneys that have worked together on my case. James was the lead attorney on my case and also represented me in my hearing. James was able to get us everything we were asking for as he successfully proved that full custody remaining with me is in the best interest of the children and that the move away is in the best interest of the children as well. We were able to come up with a plan to ensure that the children's mother can visit regularly and still maintain a healthy relationship. James is a rock star attorney! I would without hesitation refer anyone seeking help in a family law matter to call Jos Family Law!
