Child Support Should Be Accurate. Not Punitive.

California guideline support is a formula — but plug in the wrong numbers and the result is unfair. Central Law Firm runs the real math, challenges hidden income, and protects parents on both sides of the order.

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.

What Central Law Firm's Clients Say

Verified reviews from Google and Yelp — clients who came to Central Law Firm when it mattered most.

★★★★★

Unfortunately, with family law issues it's rare that both parties will leave happy. At the same time its not rare father's are taken advantage of by the courts when it comes to custody, child support, and alimony. Long story short we went from paying $3,000/month to the other party, down to $400/month with the help of Isaac. What's fair is fair, especially to men who are trying their absolute hardest to do everything they need to for their children. If you want good representation be 100% honest about your side of the story and the opposing parties side. Isaac will do everything in his power to help you out. His main concern is doing whats best for the children.
