Child Support, Custody and Visitation

Legal Action Workshop offers low flat fees to help initiate or change existing orders for child support, child custody and child visitation.  We have been providing high quality, affordable and convenient legal services throughout California for more than 30 years.

Child Support:

We can help you establish and modify child support arrangements and provide assistance with child support enforcement. Child support is generally ordered by the court when a child lives with only one parent. The non-custodial parent, or the parent with whom the child does not live, is usually responsible for contributing a certain portion of his or her income to help support the child, even if the custodial parent has income of his or her own.

In California, child support is based on a computerized formula known as the Dissomaster. The Legal Action Workshop attorneys can advise the client as to whether they will receive or pay child support and what that amount will be. Our attorneys can help you make a request to the court for temporary child support or to modify a prior child support award.

Child Custody and Visitation

Legal Action Workshop brings a common sense approach to matters of child custody and visitation. If you need assistance with custody or visitation matters, but can't afford — or don't want to pay — the high, hourly fees of a traditional law firm, contact a child custody lawyer at Legal Action Workshop today.

In various domestic cases such as: divorce, paternity and legal separation, the issue of child custody and placement of children may arise. Child custody is usually broken down into two areas, physical custody and legal custody.

Physical custody means the place where the child/children will reside. Legal custody generally means that for major decisions, such as: health, education, or religion, the courts will determine whether one party makes those decisions alone (sole legal custody) or whether both parties will be involved.  Legal custody is usually shared equally.

Generally speaking, the courts will award one of the parties primary physical custody. In some instances, the court awards joint physical custody, depending on the age of the child, where both parties reside, the school the child attends and other factors.

Regarding legal custody, the court's preference is to award joint legal custody, so that both parents will be involved in the upbringing of the child/children. In cases where the parties agree on the custody of the children, the court will generally comply with the wishes of the parties involved.

In cases where there is a dispute over custody issues, the court requires that the parties meet with a conciliation counselor to resolve the disputed issues. If they cannot resolve the issues, they will appear before the judge who may require an independent child evaluation.

At Legal Action Workshop, a child custody lawyer will assist clients in filing for custody or filing for visitation rights. If the client has a hearing, he/she may want one of our attorneys to be at the court hearing.  We can provide this service under 'limited scope' for a flat fee or fully represent the client at our low, hourly rate.  A consultation with the attorney will determine which option is best.
