Child Custody and Support Practice Area

Elaine J. Harrison - Alameda Child Support Lawyer statue3

East Bay Area child support attorney Elaine Harrison represents men on a wide range of issues concerning the custody and support of their children both within and outside marital dissolution cases. For specific information, contact Oakland child custody attorney Elaine Harrison for a consultation.

California child support obligations are calculated under fixed guidelines using a computer program known as the Dissomaster. Generally speaking, the more custody you'll have of your child, the lower your support payments will be. Using the California Family Code guidelines and Dissomaster results as a starting point, we can then work on reducing support obligations by applying "hardship deductions" - such as preexisting obligations for a child from a previous relationship - or other circumstances that must be taken into account in fixing the child support award.

Alameda County child custody attorney Elaine Harrison can also help you achieve your objective to maintain a significant role in your child's life through shared custody or joint custody, parenting plans, or time-share visitation rights.

In divorce cases, she can prepare you for the child custody evaluation process, which will have a significant effect on the outcome of contested custody issues. She can also help minimize the effects of any past or present restraining orders. Past convictions for domestic violence can make you presumed unfit for custody - Elaine Harrison can help you overcome these problems as well.

If you owe back child support payments, Oakland child support arrearages lawyer Elaine Harrison can represent you. Child support defaults can result in drivers license suspensions, denial of professional licenses, wage garnishments, and other problems. She can often find a way to overcome the problems associated with child support arrearages.
