Child Custody and Visitation Modifications
Our attorneys represent parents who are involved in many types of custody arrangements. We represent divorced parents and those who are unmarried parents. Modification may be necessary when the custodial parent wants to relocate with the child. The parent must obtain court permission to do so. Or, the non-custodial parent may want to increase the time he or she spends with the children. Our firm's experience handling physical and legal custody issues provides our clients with valuable help in modification actions.
Child Support Modifications
Child support in California is determined by statutory guidelines. The courts use a computer program to decide the amount of support. Factors that are used in this calculation include each parent's gross income and time spent with the children. The Custody & Visitation Law Firm of Marc S. Rothenberg handles requests for modification that arise from many types of situations. For example, one party may wish to decrease the amount of the other party's parenting time and thereby increase child support obligations.
Of course, there are times when one party begins a modification action purely as a vindictive measure. Our firm has the experience to identify when this is occurring.
