Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: child support

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client

relationship, unless a written retainer agreement

is executed by the attorney and client. This

communication contains general information only.

Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client

communication nor legal advice. There likely are

deadlines and time-limits associated with your

case; you should contact an attorney of your

choice for legal advice specific to your personal

situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

web site at --

http://home.pacbell.net/edbjr/ OR

http://www.CaliforniaDivorceAttorney.com

The site contains quite a bit of general

information about California Family Law, as well

as information about me (education, experience,

et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees,

policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

When your circumstances change (kid comes to live with you),

you must go back to court and ask for a modification of

your support obligation. Any deal made with the DA probably

is not binding. In dealing with the DA the more

personal contacts you have, the better. The Support Division,

in most CA counties, have thousands and thousands of cases.

THerefore, it is up to you to go to court and get the modification(s)

you are entitled to. See a lawyer who has handled lots of DA cases.

Thanks for sharing your interesting inquiry with

us on LawGuru, and good luck with your case.

Re: child support

1. Contact the local county Bar Association to seek free or low cost legal assistance in this matter. San diego, as an example has free assistance.

2. Do no delay, each month adds perhaps another erroneous charge, or paymnent, plus interest.

Re: child support

You will need to file a motion with the court requesting the court to order the District Attorneys' Office to prepare an audit, obtain credit for the child that lived at your home, and on proof of payments of child support. I suggest that you hire an attorney to comply with the audit requirement and further legal arguments. If you like assistance you may contact my office at 310-839-7700.

Re: child support

I have found that unrepresented persons are treated very poorly by the D.A.'s office in child support issues. They won't listen to anything. However, I have been successful negotiating acceptable arrangements for my clients with the D.A.'s office. Please call me directly at (619) 222-3504.
