Attention to Detail in Determining Child and Spousal Support
At the Law Office of Joan L. Collier, I know California law sets forth the required child support level in statutes, but also lists other factors that can influence the required level of support. At my practice, I use the latest DissoMaster™ software tool that can quickly calculate the proper level of child support and provide guidelines for spousal support.
My initial goal is to find out your financial expectations in receiving or paying support. From there, I conduct a detailed analysis by evaluating various financial records and tax returns. My clients are informed regarding what they are entitled to under the law.
Ensuring Accurate Information in Child Support
When determining child support there are many factors to consider such as, time spent with the children, wages and salaries, and approved deductions. The result is a computer-generated amount that is only as accurate as the information entered into the software. Hardships can result, particularly when there is a dispute in the income or expenses. Self-employed individuals might hide income or write off insurance costs. I also use forensic accountants when necessary to obtain a complete and accurate financial picture.
Spousal Support and Your Standard of Living
Temporary and long-term spousal support or alimony is based on a number of factors that include the length of the marriage and the need to maintain the marital standard of living. The issue of spousal support can become a drain on both parties in relation to their ability to pay or support themselves after the separation. Disputes can arise regarding the validity of the financial information provided, the ability of a spouse to seek and maintain employment, the omission of bonus or overtime income and a whole host of other factors. That is where an aggressive family law attorney can greatly benefit you.
