moreWhat To Do If You Were Involved In A Car Accident

moreCan I seek a post-judgment modification of spousal support?
Spousal Support is generally meant to be only temporary with the purpose of helping the supported spouse eventually become self-supporting. It is not a payment for wrong doings or revenge for anything; it is awarded by the courts solely to ensure the spouse with less financial resources, with lack of employment history, lack of higher education, will not suffer greatly as a result of the divorce. It is also awarded in cases where there are minor children still at home. Even though both parents are equally responsible for maintaining a comfortable and safe home for the children, sometimes one parent needs a little help. However, eventually the supported spouse is expected to support his or herself through efforts at obtaining a job.
Sometimes, when a spouse is expected to become self-supporting through efforts of finding a job, the supported spouse never does. In those cases, the court may order the supported spouse to submit proof of job search efforts in order to keep being paid support. However, the spousal support amount may change with circumstances.
moreGrandparents Custody and Visitation Rights
Are you a grandparent seeking court ordered visitation with your grandchild?
The key focus in all court decisions involving children is “What is in the best interest of the child?”. California Family Law Code Section 3102 allows relatives visitation over the objection of the surviving parents. To grant a grandparent visitation with a grandchild, the court must find that there is a pre-existing relationship between the grandparent and the grandchild. This “engendered bond” shows that granting visitation rights to the grandparent is in the best interest of the child. The court will then balance the best interest of the child with the rights of the parents.
moreCan I Modify My Child Support Payment?
A parent with custody of a child can ask for child support from the other parent to help with the cost of raising that child. Sometimes a parent who is ordered to pay child support may experience difficulty in paying the ordered amount, or the parent receiving support may seek an increase in the amount received. As with most court ordered payments, a party seeking to make a change to the order must go to court to ask for a modification to the order. It is very important to request this change as quickly as possible using proper legal procedures.
