Types of Affordable Divorce Options

At our family law firm, our clients get the benefit of affordable divorce options. Possible options include:

One: self-representation (pro se) – while it is cautioned that parties should still seek counsel, parties in a divorce can represent themselves
Two: pay-as-you-go – payments plans are set up for the future duration of litigation and the clients pay as they go
Three: partial representation – the attorney completes paperwork for the client at low costs and only litigates some issues
Four: limited scope – this is where the attorney represents the client in a limited scope capacity; the attorney will only go to court on certain issues such as child custody and visitation, spousal support/alimony or child support and the client is responsible for the rest
Five: uncontested divorce – for a low fixed fee, an attorney represents both clients through mediation and the case never has to go through the court system

We Keep Fees Reasonable:

We provide people with cost-effective divorce options as well as divorce mediation services at reasonable fees. One reason our fees are reasonable is that we do not add phone calls between you and us to your bill. From your initial consultation on, all calls are free.

How Is Child Support Determined?

One of the frequent questions that comes up during a divorce is, “Will I have to pay child support?” or “Will I get child support?”

At the Law Offices, we can provide you with an immediate answer to that question. Child support is based on a formula under the California Child Support Guidelines. That formula is based primarily on each spouse’s income and the physical custody arrangements. We know the formula, so we can provide you with a fast answer to your question.

How Much Child Support? After a Free Consultation, You’ll Know
Call us or send us an e-mail to talk to an experienced Corona child support lawyer about the amount of child support that you may be required to pay or you may receive.

Careful Handling of Child Support Is Required

Just because child support is determined by a formula doesn’t mean that this aspect of your case can simply be glossed over. That is definitely not the case.

A formula is only as good as the numbers entered into it. Our attorneys will take great care to see that the income amounts entered are correct. Unfortunately, divorce cases frequently become battles. Spouses may misreport their income in an attempt to pay less child support or receive more. We take great care to overcome these challenges in pursuit of a fair outcome.

Furthermore, if there is any reason to deviate from the formula to achieve a fair outcome, we will look for the opportunity to do so. There are a variety of reasons that the guidelines can be deviated from. We know why and we know how.

Corona Child Custody Lawyers: Serving Riverside, Corona, Norco and Surrounding Areas

How to Approach Custody and Visitation Plans

In Riverside, Corona, Norco, and surrounding areas, the courts have a specific way of approaching child custody and visitation arrangements. They want as much co-parenting as possible. The courts would prefer to see time divided evenly between both parents.

Sometimes things just don’t work out that way. At the Law Offices, we will stand by your side to pursue child custody and visitation arrangements that make sense for you and your family. Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation. Our Corona child custody lawyers are ready to help you and your family.

Considering All the Variables

A lot of factors need to be considered when making decisions about child custody and visitation plans (also known as “parenting plans”). One of the most important is the number of hours that you’re actually available to spend with your children.

For example, on the surface, having custody for four days may seem better than having custody for two days. However, if those four days are during the week when you’re away at work, they may not be as valuable as two weekend days that you can share with your children.

You want to be able to spend quality parenting time. Our Corona family law attorneys have the experience to consider all of the variables and help you make the decisions about your parenting plan that will be most valuable to you in the long run — and limit the need for you to come back to court for modifications to these orders later. In the event of a relocation or move-away, we can assist in seeking or contesting a modification that reflects this.

Child Custody Impacts Other Aspects of Divorce

In addition to considering all of the variables when deciding on child custody and visitation arrangements, we will also work with you to ensure that you understand how the arrangements can impact other areas of your divorce or domestic partnership dissolution.

Your custody plans can also impact your child support payments. In the settlement negotiations process, child support payments can tie into the property division aspect of your case. It is important to remember that all of these components are intertwined. We will not lose sight of the big picture.

We Keep Fees Reasonable

Our lawyers believe that effective legal representation can come at reasonable fees. We keep our fees reasonable, partly because we do not add phone calls between you and us to your bill. From your initial consultation on, all calls are free.
