Central Law Firm Runs the Numbers the Court Will Actually Use.
Child support in California is calculated by a guideline formula that almost no one outside family court understands. The problem isn't the formula. It's the inputs.
Wages, self-employment income, bonuses, hardship deductions, healthcare premiums, custody time-share, mandatory retirement, union dues — every number changes the result. Central Law Firm has seen orders that were thousands of dollars off because someone entered the wrong custody percentage or missed a deduction.
Whether you need an initial order, a modification because circumstances changed, or enforcement because the other parent isn't paying — we'll make sure the math reflects reality.
