We at the White Oak Law deal with a wide variety of family law issues. Year after year, we help our clients work through tough issues such as child support, the terms of a divorce, asset division, and more. One of the biggest areas we work in continues to be child custody, and for good reason.
As people prepare for a divorce, the questions come quickly. How will child custody be determined? Will child support or spousal support be granted? Who gets to keep the house and/or any other assets? These are just some of the questions that may be swimming in your head as you prepare for your California divorce.
Arbitration, like mediation, is a form of alternative dispute resolution that can help you wrap up your divorce without having to go through the usual lengthy proceedings. Unlike mediation, however, the process is a bit more formal and the arbitrator ends up handing down a “ruling” after hearing both sides of the argument.
Child support payments, while important, can sometimes feel like a financial burden. This is especially true when you consider the potential for unexpected circumstances such as a physical disability. Today, we want to look at what happens to child support parents when the paying parent becomes disabled and is potentially no longer able to work. This scenario can be a disaster for all involved parties, especially the child depending on the payments for his/her basic needs.
