Child support is frequently one of the most contentious topics in a divorce. Fathers may be concerned about being unfairly burdened with excessive payments or if the funds are being handled properly.
We ensure that child support arrangements are fair, transparent, and in your kid's best interests, taking into account your financial status.
California has strict guidelines for calculating child support based on income, time spent with the child, and other factors. We ensure that all elements are carefully considered in order to get a fair result.
If your financial situation changes, you may need to amend your child support arrangement. We guide you through this procedure to ensure that your payments match your current position.
If your ex-spouse is failing to meet their child support obligations, we can assist you in enforcing the order in court.


Fathers in California, including Hemet, frequently confront inherent biases in custody cases. Despite progress in family law, certain courts may still rely on antiquated conceptions about parenting duties.
Our attorneys work hard to ensure that fathers are recognized as equal parents under the law. We work to guarantee that your parental rights are respected and that the court respects your role in your children's life.
The "Best Interests of the Child" standard
California courts consider the child's best interests while determining custody. We assist you in making a compelling case for why your involvement is beneficial to your children's well-being.
Joint vs. exclusive custody:
Understanding the distinction between joint and sole custody is critical. We will walk you through the process of achieving the custody agreement that is best for you and your children.
Custody Modifications:
Life circumstances change, and custody arrangements may need to be adjusted. We can assist you in requesting adjustments to current custody orders if necessary.

Determining Spousal Support:
Spousal support is calculated using parameters such as the length of the marriage, each spouse's earning potential, and the standard of living throughout the marriage. We make sure that spousal support arrangements are fair and reasonable, preserving your financial future.
Modifying Spousal Support:
Spousal support orders, like child support orders, can be changed when circumstances change. We assist you in requesting adjustments as needed.
In addition to child custody and support, fathers also face challenges in spousal support and property division.
California’s community property laws can complicate the division of assets, and fathers may feel at a disadvantage during negotiations.
Our attorneys work to ensure that property is divided fairly and that spousal support arrangements are reasonable.
Community vs. Separate Property:
California is a community property state, which means that any assets earned during the marriage are considered joint property and must be split equally. We can assist you in navigating these laws and preserving your assets.
Protecting Your Financial Interests:
Whether we're dividing real estate, investments, or retirement accounts, we work hard to ensure that your financial interests are safeguarded during the property division process.

"Family Law Matter has been amazing. From the moment I asked for a consultation until the resolution of my case. They have always been responsive and supportive providing me answers, feed back, and guidance through the entire process. As a single father, I have been in and out of family court attempting to obtain a fair result, always being told that there was nothing I could do. Family Law Matters proved everyone wrong. In less than a year I went from seeing my child once a month or every six months, to being awarded 50/50 custody and having my child every other full week.
I would recommend Family Law Matters to anyone seeking a fair result from an amazing family law company."
As a father, it’s important to understand your rights and responsibilities during the divorce process. You have the right to seek custody of your children, and you may be entitled to child support if you are the non-custodial parent. Additionally, you have the right to protect your assets and ensure a fair distribution of property.
