CHILD SUPPORT

Child Support

Child support is often a contentious issue during divorce. The parent who will be paying the child support often disagrees with the amount requested, while the supported parent often disagrees with the amount offered. It can become a heated and emotionally difficult battle.

Our intention is to seek what is best for the children, while looking out for the best interests of our client. Brent Seymour has been practicing law in the Bay Area for 25 years, and has dealt with a wide range of child support cases. He is here to help guide you through the legal process, and help you get the outcome you want most from your case.

Balancing The Needs Of Parents And Children

The Bay Area and Solano County courts are primarily concerned with the best interests of the child when determining child support and other child-related issues during divorce. The method for determining support is statutory and the calculation results in “Guideline” support. The most important factors in determining support are the incomes of each parent and the amount of time each parent spends with the child(ren). There are situations where guideline support is inappropriate, and an experienced attorney will identify those situations.

At the Law Office of Brent D. Seymour, we will do our best to ensure an outcome that balances the needs of everyone involved. To avoid a costly legal battle, we will attempt to negotiate terms that are equitable and that the court will accept. If an agreement cannot be reached, we are prepared to litigate on your behalf.
