Child Support

Child Support

Child support in California is based on a statewide guideline that takes into consideration, among other things, the income of both parents (or the income a parent could earn), the number of children at issue, and the amount of time the children spend with each parent. Sometimes, depending upon the sort of employment a party has (or does not have but arguably should have), the calculation of a parent’s income can be complicated. RRB has successfully represented clients who want to minimize their support obligations, clients who seek to ensure that their ex-spouse pays his or her fair share, and clients who need to modify existing orders.

Representative Results

  • Prevented father from reducing child support by demonstrating credibility issues and successfully arguing to impute substantial income to him.
  • Negotiated child support order for client with fluctuating income based on actual income as received.
  • Prevailed in action whereupon a mother tried to set aside a judgment based on fraud and perjury and thereafter prevailed on sanctions request which required the mother to pay my client’s fees for the frivolous lawsuit in the amount of approximately $50,000.

My former spouse and I preferred to mediate our divorce to ensure a civil and amicable process for the sake of our children. Although Stephanie is a successful litigator, she sensitively guided us through the entire mediation process, keeping the dialogue moving at all times and avoiding communication breakdowns.”

I want to thank you for your efforts in helping to resolve this matter.  I am impressed with your innate ability to simultaneously advocate for and calm your client.  This matter was incredibly stressful.  You helped her navigate through her concerns and kept her focused.  It was a lesson in patience.  I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again.  Thank you.

I feel like it’s Christmas morning!  I can’t possibly thank you guys enough for your brilliant, tireless work.  You are all extraordinary at what you do. Having worked with and against several other attorneys, I could never have imagined working with the most exceptional and impressive team.  I have never felt so understood and protected.  Thank you for being so incredibly patient with me and putting up with my insanity (That could not have been easy!) I know I could never have done this without you.  Thank you!!!!

Stephanie is a true professional and I would recommend her wholeheartedly. She was always responsive to my needs, smart, a tough litigator when necessary, and clearly explained the process, my options and potential outcomes to me so that together we could make decisions that made sense for both my son and me. Going through a divorce is difficult. I am glad that I had Stephanie to expertly guide me through it.

When I was unexpectedly served with divorce papers, I was totally distraught. A friend referred me to Stephanie Blum and I was immediately impressed with her caring, comforting bedside manner. She provided not only legal expertise, but psychological support at this difficult time in my life.”

She is a fierce opponent when the situation warrants it but is nonetheless sensitive to keeping the best interests of the children top of mind. Stephanie is the real deal in Family Law.
