Enforcing Child Support Decades of Experience

Child Support Enforcement

Trusted Mission Viejo Child Support Attorney

The biological parents of minor children are legally obligated to provide support for their children in California, even if the child is conceived out of wedlock. In the case of dissolution of marriage, support is often required of one or more of the parents of the child. Parents are required to make support payments to the other parent based on a number of factors including: who has custody of the child and for how much of the time, the average income of each parent and any expenses and hardship deductions.

If you are supposed to be receiving child support payments for compensation but you are not then you may be able to file contempt in order to obtain your due payments. If the contempt is accepted then the parent who owes child support payments will have to pay penalties and/or interest on the past due amounts. In California the penalties and interest can be extremely substantial, sometimes even more than the amount that is due for child support. In addition to these penalty fines, the individual who fails to make these payments could face prison time if they continue to fail to make their payments.

    “I highly recommend The Hunter Law Group-if you are in need of a Family Law Professional.”
    The Hunter Law Group guided us through a very difficult divorce/child custody case with exceptional knowledge of the law, respect and compassion. Dan Hunter is a very skilled professional and was readily available to hear our concerns. I could not imagine going through this ordeal without him. His experience with the law itself and the court system helped us navigate through this stressful situation. His staff too is excellent!

    “I cannot recommend Dan highly enough.”

    As an attorney myself, I feel uniquely qualified to review The Hunter Law Group. Dan helped me through my divorce last year with all the professionalism I expected. He did a great job negotiating a reasonable deal in spite of the dilatory and obstreperous conduct of opposing counsel. He was responsive to my inquiries and his legal fees were very reasonable. I cannot recommend Dan highly enough.

    “My only complaint is that I wish I would have found him earlier.”
    I was actually in trial when I realized that my then current attorney "was not cutting it" so to speak. Mr. Hunter agreed to take my case in the middle of trial. I was relieved! Unfortunately, the damage had been done. He was not able to turn the trial judge around, so Mr. Hunter took my case up on appeal and WON! The result on appeal was a reversal of the trial court's spousal support order as well as an order for a new trial on the issue of attorneys' fees. At the second trial on the issue of attorneys' fees and costs, Mr. Hunter was successful in obtaining an order that saved me from having to pay approximately $180,000 in legal fees and costs to my ex-wife. What a relief!!! Mr. Hunter is a master at his craft. My only complaint is that I wish I would have found him earlier.
