Fresno, California Child Support and Alimony Attorney
After a divorce, many couples face the financial difficult of the division of property and assets. Another difficulty is making sure that both parties are on equal footing financially. If one party has spent the duration of the marriage working and the other does not have an income, the court may order alimony or child support to maintain financial equality after a divorce. Similarly, child support may be ordered to protect the financial interests of a custodial parent. At the Law Office of Cindy J. Hopper, are experienced in protecting our clients rights in child support and alimony cases related to a divorce or post-order matter.
Child support orders
Child support may be ordered to cover childcare expenses, medical and dental expenses, summer camps, or private schools. The court will look at the best interests of the child and seek to maintain the standard of living after the divorce.
Spousal maintenance and spousal support
Alimony, maintenance, or spousal support is money paid from one spouse to another for day-to-day support of the spouse with fewer financial resources. Sometimes alimony also can be used to pay back a debt. We can assert your rights to spousal maintenance or help you protect against unmanageable obligations.
Modifications to existing support orders
If a change in circumstances has occurred that renders you unable to pay an existing child support or alimony order or if you are seeking an increase in payment, we can assert your rights in court. You may have suffered a job loss, injury, or your child may have special needs. We can help you secure a modification (an increase or decrease) to an existing support order.
Child support or spousal support enforcement
Many times it is necessary to pursue avenues of enforcement if you are not receiving the support payments you are owed. Our attorneys can pursue civil remedies as well as criminal remedies to ensure that you receive the support payments you are entitled to.
