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 Mr. Hunter and his legal team.”

    Mr. Hunter has provided and continues to provide my business with excellent legal services.  His expertise and dedication has delivered results that have exceeded expectations, including a multi-million dollar judgment we received on a complex business litigation issue.  I highly recommend Mr. Hunter and his legal team.

    “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.

    “A ray of light throughout the storm”
    After leaving a less than favorable relationship with my son's father and trying to navigate Family Law and the legal system on my own, I found myself completely bewildered. I was referred to The Hunter Law Group by a family friend and have been blown away by how amazing they have been to work with. Not only are they open and honest in their practices, they also empathetic, accommodating, and understanding. Every time I speak with them I feel at ease due to the security and trust they have built while working with them. My whole situation has been a nightmare legally but Dan Hunter and his staff have been a ray of light throughout the storm. I can't thank you guys enough.
