Legal Question in Family Law in California

Mediation

My Ex and I have finally grown up and we are communicating like two responsible parents should about our childrens needs. Anyway, I'm changing jobs in less then a month and this will change my income and I will also be able to provide insurance for my kids....my question is that now my exwife and I want to work together to set up support payments, we dont want to go back to court if it is not necessary and we dont want CSS involced which they already are....what can we do? How can we move forward without going back to court and reach an angreement that provides for all our needs? My ex still retains a lawyer, but I do not, does that make difference?

Re: Mediation

The prior response is not correct if CSS is involved. The only way to change the current support order is to go back to court. However, this can be an easy process with no need to personally appear if everyone is willing to agree and sign a stipulation for the court and CSS to approve.

My rates are very reasonable and I am willing to provide a free consultation. Call 909.593.9263 to set one up.

Re: Mediation

The case with CSS can be closed by the person that opened it. Then the parties can stipulate to the new child support and request that the court make it an order. It will be necessary to state whether the support is quidline and if not that the needs of the children will be met with the new child support order.
