Legal Question in Family Law in California

Filing for child support

I want to file for child support against my sons father, but I am unsure if I will receive it.

Currently he pays for our son's medical insurance through his employer, and buys things like diapers, baby food and material item whenever I ASK which is approx $50 per month. My main reason why I want him to pay for support is that he's physically not there for our son. Times that I need him to take our son while I go to work, he will agree, but will NEVER show up, and I can't afford child care at this time.

What should I do to resolve this issue? Thanks

Re: Filing for child support

When you obtain a child support order it can, and generally is, enforced by wage assignment directly from his employer. Therefore, you should receive the child support and it should be much more than $50 per month. Please contact my office and tell them that I offered you a free consultation, by telephone or in the office, and I can go over the procedure with you. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
