As a parent in California, you are obligated to support your minor children financially until they attain majority, or under special circumstances, even beyond that. Whether you are married or unmarried, whether your child is biological or adopted, this rule applies to all parents.

When divorcing spouses in California have one or more children together, the court will decide whether child support should be paid, which parent should pay to the other, and how much the amount would be. These factors aren't set in stone and sometimes need to be litigated due to parent's disagreements.

If you find yourself in such a situation, best seek advice and representation from an experienced child support attorney Orange County who can achieve a fair outcome for you and your children.

How Mediation Works in California?

During the mediation, the process takes place in the presence of a neutral third-party mediator who works with the parties to reach a favorable agreement. They meet each party separately or together and facilitate communication to resolve disagreements one by one. The end goal of mediation is to get a negotiated settlement that is fair to both parties.
