_Your concern for your children’s financial well being can increase the anxiety involved in the already painful experience of divorce. At the Law Offices of Tracy Duell-Cazes, caring California family law attorney Tracy Duell-Cazes can help you protect your children’s financial future as you divide your family into two households.

We help parents and their children in the following ways:

• Understand child support guidelines
• Negotiate child support through mediation
• Litigate child support issues
• Enforce child support orders
• Modify child support orders 

Child support guidelines

California law has established general child support guidelines. We can assist you in setting up the best possible financial arrangement within the framework of these guidelines. We help you structure the receipt or payment of support so you can best secure the financial future for yourself and your children. 

Child support settlements through mediation

Through the structured process of mediation, you and your spouse can put aside your differences and focus on the one point about which you likely agree — your children’s well-being. Skilled negotiator Tracy Duell-Cazes can help you create a support plan that equitably divides the financial obligations of raising your children. 

Litigation of child support

Sometimes going to trial is necessary to obtain the financial support your children need and deserve. Attorney Tracy Duell-Cazes is a strong litigator who is prepared to stand up for your children’s right to a financially stable upbringing. 

Enforcement of child support

Both parents share the responsibility of raising children. If your former spouse fails to abide by legal obligations for your children’s financial support, we can make sure your child support order is enforced.

Modification of child support

Child support payments remain the same unless and until the court modifies the child support order. If one parent suffers an injury or loses a job, fairness might dictate at least a temporary shift of financial burden to the other parent. We can guide you through the proper legal procedures to modify your child support payments to accommodate changing financial circumstances.
