Child Support

Alimony has a different name in California. It's called spousal support. California has a unique system for calculating child support and alimony. There are nine - count 'em, nine - factors that have to be considered by the judge when he / she makes a permanent alimony order. I'll discuss here the most important factor in a temporary alimony order. California judges are encouraged to use computer software programs to come up with temporary alimony orders. These programs are reviewed and certified. The result is that often in making a temporary alimony order the judge can pretty much ignore the nine factors that come into play in a permanent alimony order. The permanent alimony order, on the other hand, is a very different matter and can be a very important issue in a San Diego divorce trial or in settlement negotiations. If you are involved in or want to start a San Diego divorce, make sure you have consulted with a competent San Diego divorce lawyer before you make any decisions about what to do in a child support and alimony matter. You will need help with this. In the long run, you will not save money, by "going it alone".
