Child support matters can create stress and uncertainty for parents, especially when finances, income changes, or enforcement issues are involved. Working with an experienced Anaheim child support lawyer can help you understand your rights and obligations under California law.
At Moore Family Law Group, we represent parents throughout Anaheim and Orange County in child support matters involving initial support orders, modifications, and enforcement.
Child support is intended to ensure that both parents contribute financially to the care and well being of their child. In California, support is calculated using a statewide formula that considers factors such as income, parenting time, and allowable deductions.
When parents cannot agree on support terms, court involvement may be required. In Orange County, child support requests are typically brought before the court by filing a Request for Order.
A Request for Order allows a parent to ask the court to:
Establish a new child support order
Modify an existing support order
Enforce unpaid child support
An Anaheim child support lawyer can help ensure these requests are properly prepared and supported before they are submitted.
Child support orders may be modified when there has been a significant change in circumstances. Common reasons for modification include changes in income, job loss, changes in custody time, or new financial obligations.
If child support payments fall behind, enforcement options may be available through the court. These can include wage garnishment, tax refund interception, and other legal remedies.
Parents can also review general child support procedures and court resources through the Orange County Superior Court, which provides information about family law matters handled locally.
At Moore Family Law Group, we understand that child support issues can directly affect your financial stability. Our attorneys work closely with clients to evaluate their situation and determine the most effective legal approach.

Establishing initial child support orders
Requesting support modifications
